Seattle University’s Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Ultrasound Program was founded in 1978 and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRC-DMS).

The program has since evolved to offer post-baccalaureate degree and post-baccalaureate certificate pathways to students who already hold an undergraduate degree. The program offers 3 distinctive specialty ultrasound tracks: cardiac, general, and vascular.
