DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY I he Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is designed as an advanced discipline of study for two-year graduates of accredited programs. A student can complete the required courses and be eligible to write the national certification examination. The courses offered in Diagnostic Medical Sonography are upper division and will be accepted as satisfying the requirements for a primary area emphasis for those students who have been accepted into the Bachelor of Science in the Health Sciences. The program is six (6) quarters in length, which requires the student to attend summer quarter. A competency-based evaluation system will be utilized throughout the program. A student must achieve a predetermined level of competency in the academic and clinical courses in order to receive grades for the course. A minimum of 24 clock hours per calendar week the second through the fifth quarters, and 32 clock hours per calendar week the sixth quarter must be completed in the clinical courses.
