How to Apply

You may apply for the Diagnostic Ultrasound, Bachelor of Science (BS) degree major as an incoming first-year student or as a junior-level transfer student from another college. If you have already earned a bachelor's degree may apply for the Diagnostic Ultrasound Post-Baccalaureate degree or Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.

The application deadline is February 1 for fall quarter transfer admission.

All application materials must be received by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Both applications request a list of coursework in progress, a ranking of Vascular, General or Cardiac tracks and essays describing your interest in Diagnostic Ultrasound and Seattle University.

All students have the opportunity to rank their interest in a vascular, general or cardiac sonography track focus.

To apply as an incoming first-year student, contact the Seattle University Admissions Office
To apply as a transfer student or post-bacc student for the BS degree, post-bacc degree, or post-bacc certificate, contact Transfer Admissions or email us.
Internal transfers (students who have already started at SU) are admitted on a space-available basis due to the constraints with clinical placements and the need to limit the size of each cohort.
