In Arkansas, 2 of the 3 programs ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 3 programs here are cardiac or vascular sonography (associate degree, 1 program), sonography (bachelor's degree, 1 program) and sonography (associate degree, 1 program).

Where the Arkansas sonography program numbers come from

Which Arkansas sonography programs are on this list?

These are the sonography programs Arkansas approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Arkansas offers.

How the prices and results of Arkansas sonography programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
