For those interested in applying to the Sonography Program, the following process must be completed. The deadline for returning all paperwork is April of the current year.
- Acceptance to Newman University. To apply to the University, call or write for an application packet and explain you are interested in Sonography. You may reach Newman University admissions at 316-942-4291.

- Completed application to the Sonography program
- Official transcripts confirming required prerequisite education
- Personnel essay describing yourself and why you are pursuing a career in sonography (4 copies).
- Resume (4 copies)
- Shortly after the deadline, if the educational criteria are met and all forms are received, the top 20 scored canditates (scores based on grades, GPA, essay, and resume) will be contacted for an interview with the Sonography selection committee. The committee is composed of instructors in the DMS program, faulty in another allied health field, and area sonographers. Program selection is determined by points awarded for your grades, essay, resumé and the interview.
- A letter of acceptance, alternate status, or denial to the program will be mailed to the applicant by July 15.
- Students accepted for admission are required to confirm their intention to attend the program in writing and submit their non-refundable deposit within seven working days.
- If openings occur, alternates will be selected according to numerical rank. Alternates may be admitted up to 2 weeks into the fall semester if all positions have not been filled.
- Once selected, the student must be able to perform the duties of a medical sonographer and physically complete clinical requirements through reasonable accommodation as needed. Please see the "Performance Requirements" fact sheet.
Please note that all identifiers will be taken off the personal essay and the resume when they are evaluated by the three members of the selection committee.
