CERTIFICATE IN CARDIAC SONOGRAPHY
The Cardiac Sonography Program is seeking accreditation by the Joint Review Committee on
Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. This major is designed to produce competent and compas
sionate entry-level sonographers for the practice of cardiac sonography. The Healthcare track is designed
for applicants who have an associate’s degree in healthcare (i.e. Sonography, Radiologic Technology,
Nursing, etc.) The Non-Healthcare track is designed for applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree and
have no prior experience in the healthcare setting. Upon completion of the cardiac sonography certificate
students are prepared to sit for the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS)
examinations in sonography principles & instrumentation and Adult Echocardiography.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Selection into the program is based on:
Revised 1/17/13
1. Cumulative grade point average
2. Approved Associate’s Degree in healthcare
The above criteria are converted to a point system. Selection preference is given to those who
have graduated from a sonography program, and those currently working full time in the field of cardiac
sonography.
