Sonography school in Missouri

7 sonography programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

6 schools offer these sonography programs, and Missouri has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Diagnostic medical sonographers use ultrasound equipment to make images of the inside of the body. Most need at least an associate degree or a certificate, offered by colleges and some hospitals; some need a state license, and employers may require or prefer professional certification.1

In Missouri, 3 of the 7 programs take students without a high school diploma, 3 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for an associate degree.

By kind, the 7 programs here are sonography (associate degree, 5 programs), sonography certificate or diploma (1 program) and cardiac or vascular sonography (associate degree, 1 program).

Where the Missouri sonography program numbers come from

Which Missouri sonography programs are on this list?

These are the sonography programs Missouri 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 Missouri offers.

How the prices and results of Missouri 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.
