    Sonography Application Process

    For those interested in applying to the Sonography Program, the following process must be completed. The deadline for returning all paperwork is March 1 of the current year.

    1. 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.
    2. Apply to the Sonography program at Newman. This requires the following paperwork be received by the deadline date:
      • Completed application to the Sonography program
      • Official transcripts submitted to the Registrar’s office confirming required prerequisite education
      • 4 copies of your Personnel essay (requirements found on application).
      • 4 copies of your Resume (requirements found on application).
    3. Shortly after the deadline, if the educational criteria are met and all forms are received, the top 20 scored candidates (this score is 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 program, faculty from other allied health fields, and area sonographers. 
    4. Program selection is determined by points awarded for your grades, essay, resume and the interview.
    5. A letter of acceptance, alternate status, or denial to the program will be mailed to the applicant by May 1.
    6. Students accepted for admission are required to confirm their intention to attend the program in writing along with their non-refundable deposit within seven working days.
    7. If openings occur, alternates will be selected according to numerical rank. Alternates may be admitted up to the beginning of fall semester if all positions have not been filled.  Once the semester has begun, the alternate status will be void and the student must reapply the next year.
    8. 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.
