You do not say what state this program is in. Go to the following site. It lists all accredited schools. Search for your state and “diagnostic medical sonographer.” Then you can see if Baptist Memorial College is an accredited program.

If it is NOT, don’t waste your time or money. When you graduate from a NON-accredited program, you cannot take your licensing exams until you have worked one full year in the field of ultrasound. But, you will have a hard time getting someone to employ you without that license.

Ultrasonography will find increasing use with growing concerns about minimizing exposure to radiation, especially in the obgyn field. Job opportunities should be good.

I do no know about Baptist Mission College, though.
