Enrollment is limited to a select number of qualified applicants. The academic year runs from September through August. The program does not maintain a waiting list for admission and interested applicants must reapply each year.

 

International Applicants

 

All interested parties who meet our application prerequisites are welcome to apply, however non-U.S. citizens are required to have a visa to enter the United States. Since you must be pursuing a baccalaureate degree or post-baccalaureate education in sonography through UW-Milwaukee in order to be eligible for our program, their Center for International Admissions can advise you on the process of obtaining a student visa to attend UW-Milwaukee.
