How to Apply

Individuals may apply for the Diagnostic Ultrasound, Bachelor of Science (BS) degree major as incoming first-year students or as junior-level transfer students from other colleges. Individuals who have already earned a bachelor's degree may apply for the Diagnostic Ultrasound Post-Baccalaureate degree or Post-Baccalaureate Certificate. 

Please note that internal transfers (students who have already started at SU) will be admitted on a space-available basis due to the constraints with clinical placements and the need to limit the size of each cohort.

Application Requirements

• $60 non-refundable application fee (waiver options available).
• Official transcripts from all colleges and universities where credit was earned or attempted

All application materials must be received by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Both applications request a list of coursework in progress, a ranking of Vascular, General or Cardiac tracks and essays describing your interest in Diagnostic Ultrasound and Seattle University. 

All students have the opportunity to rank their interest in a vascular, general or cardiac sonography track focus. Track placements will be determined based on available clinical spots.
