"When thinking about entering an ultrasound program, you need not be concerned so much about certificate vs. degree. What is important is that you go to an ACCREDITED program, whether it is college or hospital based. An accredited program allows you to take your registry (licensing) exams upon graduation. Once you get licensed, you will never be asked about your schooling again. An employer does not care what route you take to get licensed, they just want you to have that license.

Don't waste your time or money on a NON-accredited program. Upon completion and graduation from a NON-accredited program, you must work in the field of sonography for a full year prior to taking your licensing examinations. But, you will have a hard time finding an employer to hire you, unless you are licensed.

"I am sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you. I hope this response is not too late. Let share with you how I have students join my private class sites. I create the site and leave it open until my students join (which is all done in one class meeting… ideally). Once all of my students are on, I lock the site down to be private. If you have a list of parent’s e-mail, that would work great. You could help the students create their accounts in class, and the parents could stay informed. You also might want to have the students write down their usernames and passwords for you so that you will have a master list of the students in your class. I hope that this has helped, let me know how it goes!
Happy Painting,
