Sonography Schools in Indiana

Sonography refers to a diagnostic medical procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of organs, tissue and blood flow within the body. These ultrasounds serve as an effective detection device for heart, vascular and reproductive problems. The Indiana Society of Radiologic Technologists suggests four programs for individuals seeking an education in sonography through an Indiana school. The organization cautions that these programs are not accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRCDMS), but they will still prepare students for the profession.

  1. Indiana University Northwest

    • Indiana University Northwest offers a bachelor of science in radiologic sciences with concentration in diagnostic medical sonography. Health professional degree students must take 76 credits of general education studies, which include communication, math, physical science and biological science coursework. The degree program requires 47 credit hours of coursework specifically designed for diagnostic medical sonography. Faculty grant admissions preference to individuals who already hold a health-related degree.
