DMS (Program at Delgado Community College): This curriculum is designed to prepare students for application to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program at Delgado Community College. Acceptance into the program is competitive with selection made by the Admissions Committee for the Delgado DMS Program. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission into the program. The DMS program is a 16-month certificate program, which provides students with both formal and practical education in ultrasound. Students apply directly to Delgado Community College for admission into the clinical program. University of Holy Cross grants the Baccalaureate degree upon successful completion of the program. Students who are graduates of other DMS programs may receive credit for their clinical work if they have completed a CAAHEP accredited program and have passed the national certification exam administered by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS), provided that the DMS clinical program was offered through a regionally accredited college or university.
