Best and the Most Affordable Online Bachelors in Medical Sonography Degrees
College Choice (@CollegeChoice1), a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources, has published its 2016 rankings for the Best Online Bachelors in Medical Sonography Degrees and the Most Affordable Online Bachelors in Medical Sonography Degrees.
As ultrasound technology continues to innovate, so too does the need for more educated technicians. For many students, the only plausible way to gain the advanced education needed to be certified as a technician is through online education. College Choice created separate rankings for both undergraduate and graduate prospective students.
Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, had this to say about these sonography rankings: “You may not know about the many other ways medical sonographers play a vital role in the health care team. Sonograms are used to diagnose a host of medical problems from kidney stones to heart conditions. And sonographers are a vital part of care in specialized fields that range from obstetrics to neurology to oncology.”
The College Choice 2016 rankings for both the online bachelors and masters degrees were created first and foremost by looking at the requirements to apply for each program. Sonography programs are competitive, so schools were ranked for these requirements as well as academic reputation, program opportunities, first-time pass rates for certification programs, and more. This information was created using school’s program websites and independent statistical sites such as Payscale, U.S. News and World Report, and the National Center for Education Statistics.
