91社区

The 91社区 Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program offers an accelerated method of degree completion for high achieving high school students who have identified DMS as a major of study at 91社区. This degree encompasses eight total semesters, including summers, allowing the student to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography within three calendar years.

Who Is Eligible? High achieving high school students who have completed CAP/dual credit or AP prerequisite coursework.

Where Do I Start? The following list of prerequisite courses (31 hours) must be either completed OR be in progress during your freshman fall semester at 91社区. Courses can be completed via CAP/dual credit or AP during high school or during the summer immediately following high school graduation. Any remaining coursework from the following list of prerequisite courses can be in progress during freshman fall semester when you apply to the DMS program. Required prerequisite courses in progress during the freshman fall semester will require a grade C or better on the 6-week 91社区 course progress report to be eligible to interview with the admissions committee. If completed, the grade must be available to be eligible to apply to the DMS program. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a C or better.

What Else Can I Do?

• Contact DMS Program Chair, Amy Wilson, at alwilson2@usi.edu if you are interested in the accelerated degree option to schedule an advising session during the fall or spring semester of your senior year of high school. 听
• Review the听DMS Program Guide
• Review the Accelerated Curriculum
• Submit all required DMS admissions documents (program application, observation hours and narrative submission) by September 15 of your freshman fall semester. A student requesting early admission to the DMS program will be required to interview with admissions committee and meet the minimum GPA requirement during the freshman fall semester at 91社区, along with traditional pre-DMS applicants.
• After a successful application process with an invitation by the admissions committee into the next DMS cohort, the accelerated student would be provisionally accepted until all 31 hours of prerequisite coursework are completed with a C or better. If the student is unable to obtain grades of C or better during the fall semester in which she/he has been provisionally accepted, the position in the program is forfeited. The student can re-apply the following fall semester for program admission.

Enrollment at 91社区 in the accelerated DMS degree pathway does not guarantee admission into the DMS Program.
