Graduate Ultrasound Technician Classes

Most people think of Associates and Bachelor’s degrees when it comes to ultrasound technician classes and education. And with good reason- there is only one graduate degree program in ultrasound specifically in the U.S. and only five world wide. It is offered by the University of Missouri. The title of the degree is Master of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound. There must be some reason for getting this degree, so what are the enhanced career options for someone with an ultrasound graduate degree?

The classes offered at the University of Missouri for this degree include an advanced and in-depth study of all the essentials of ultrasound from a technical and medical perspective as well as a clinical internship. In addition, a student may be required to undertake a research project on their own and write a thesis.
