Diagnostic medical sonographers collaborate with physicians to create real-time visual representations of internal organs, tissues, and circulatory systems. These specialists assist doctors by delivering diagnostic scans and technical reports to help determine medical conditions across all age groups, from fetuses to seniors. Distinct from nursing, medicine, and pharmacy, these healthcare roles offer essential diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and patient support services that complement other medical professionals' work. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, career prospects for certified professionals range from favorable to outstanding. Bachelor's degree programs cover specialties like Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Histotechnology, Medical Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiation Therapy Technology, and Radiography.

Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Students with a GPA just below 2.0 may be still considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University.
If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts.
Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
