Mission Statement

The mission of the School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography is to provide a comprehensive education that will prepare students to become entry-level sonographers.

This is necessary to prepare students to:

  • Assume the responsibilities of a sonographer
  • Provide quality patient care
  • Contribute to their profession by a commitment to professional organizations and lifelong learning
