Associate in Science Degree

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program was first accredited as a one year certificate program for the General learning concentration in 1989. The program matriculated with the first AS degree class in 1990, as part of a cooperative partnership between Valencia Community College and Orlando Regional Healthcare.

In 1992, the DMS program received its first continuing accreditation for General learning concentration and was granted accreditation.  Diagnostic Medical Sonography remains as an accredited program serving the Central Florida community.

Valencia's program is one of the best for preparing men and women for a career in sonography, by connecting students directly to situations sonographers face today. The program offers real-life lessons to help students build skills and confidence.

Students who complete the program are prepared to take the National Registry Exams and can go on to work as a sonographer and/or pursue higher degrees.
