"I have been a sonographer for thirty years and I'm still fascinated with the field of sonography. This AS degree will open the door for individuals who are interested in pursuing this exciting and growing career without the worries of needing an allied health associates degree or a bachelor's degree," said Claudia Von Zamory, the Ultrasound Technology Program Director of Gurnick Academy.

The length of the AS degree in Ultrasound Technology is two years. Currently the program is offered at the San Mateo Campus only. The next program start date is the 6^th of July, 2015.

The program is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment after graduation as a diagnostic medical sonographer with specializations in Abdominal and Small Parts, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Vascular Sonography.
