Admission Pathway Information

Students applying to Quinnipiac’s BS in Diagnostic Medical Sonography program are admitted into the Pre–Diagnostic Medical Sonography pathway. During the first year, students complete foundational coursework and prepare for entry into the professional phase of the program. At the conclusion of the spring semester, students are evaluated for progression into the diagnostic medical sonography major. Students who earn a programmatic and cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher, complete required math and science coursework with grades of B+ or higher, and meet all progression requirements will qualify for automatic entry to the professional phase of the program. Additional qualified students with at least a 3.00 GPA may be considered through a competitive review process based on academic performance and remaining available program capacity. This pathway allows Quinnipiac to provide access to more students interested in the profession while ensuring students entering the professional phase are prepared for the rigor of the curriculum.

That’s why we look at many factors when considering each application for admission, especially those factors that relate to the specific program you’re considering.
