Frequently Asked Questions About Our Sonography Program

  • What sonography track is offered at the Denver location?

    The AHU Denver sonography school exclusively offers the General-Vascular sonography program track. This specialized track trains students to perform non-invasive ultrasound scans of abdominal organs, obstetrics and gynecology, vascular structures, and superficial structures.

    If you are looking for our cardiovascular sonography track, it is currently offered only at our Orlando, Florida campus.

  • Are the sonography classes offered online or in-person?

    Sonography classes are offered primarily in person at our Denver location, supplemented by synchronous online instruction for some core lectures. Because mastering ultrasound technology requires extensive hands-on laboratory practice and real-world clinical rotations, this program cannot be completed entirely online. 

    However, students may select fully online or evening courses to complete their general education requirements.

  • Can I transition to a bachelor's degree program after completing the associate sonography program?

    Yes, graduates of the sonography program can seamlessly transition into our Online Bachelor of Science in Imaging Sciences program. This online degree program is designed specifically for credentialed, working medical sonographers who want to advance their careers, increase their earning potential, and step into healthcare leadership roles without leaving their jobs.

  • How competitive is the sonography program?

    The diagnostic medical sonography program at the Denver location is highly competitive, accepting an intimate cohort of just 10 students per intake. Because clinical space and lab time are highly limited, the admissions committee carefully evaluates applicants based on prerequisite GPAs, an admissions essay, letters of recommendation, and an interview. We encourage prospective students to focus on maintaining a strong prerequisite GPA to stand out in the selection process.
