On-Campus
OnlineWithin the medical industry, heart-related procedures ranging from surgery to sonography and monitoring require a great degree of care and training. By capturing images of the heart and its chambers, cardiac sonographers work to provide more information on a patient’s heart. The equipment used to diagnose and treat heart conditions is more sophisticated than ever, and it requires specialized training and experience to operate properly. This is a limited enrollment program.
Enrollment in the Cardiac Sonography program is limited, and admission is highly competitive. High-performing incoming freshmen may qualify for guaranteed enrollment and a $6,000-per-year scholarship through our direct admission program.
Your expertise as a registered cardiac sonographer will help put your patient’s mind—and heart—at ease.

I chose Baker for the curriculum. They look at what you’re going to need, and a lot of MBAs are general. ... I felt that a lot of the things that I was doing in school I could directly translate into what I was doing in the hospital.
