Where does my path start?

There are two paths to transfer for career training.

You can complete an Associate of Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement  (AA-DTA) and include the prerequisite courses as indicated here and transfer to a Bachelor’s degree program.

Or, you can obtain professional certification at a community college that offers the Associate in Diagnostic Ultrasound. These programs do not require that you complete the AA-DTA before transfer, but do have prerequisite courses.

Areas of Study in Diagnostic Ultrasound/Radiation and Imaging Sciences: Cell Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Physics, Patophysiology, Echocardiography, Cardiac and Vascular Evaluation, Prenatal Evaluation, Imaging Instrumentation, Patient Positioning, Exam Techniques, Radiation Safety, Radiation Therapy, Professional and Medical Ethics.

Where can I transfer and what does my chosen two-year or four-year school require?

Before choosing classes, become familiar with the program where you want to apply: visit the website, email the department, and/or speak with a Shoreline advisor. Below are examples from Washington schools with different admissions and graduation requirements. Check with the school for world language requirements. (Non-native speakers of English are often exempt from this requirement.)

• The community colleges offer Associates in Applied Science in Radiation and Imaging Sciences. These degrees do not require completion of AA degree to enter. 
• Bellevue College also offers a follow up Bachelor in Applied Sciences in Radiation and Imaging Sciences.
• Seattle University offers a Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Ultrasound (enter with AA degree and prerequisites)
