First I would look online for CAAHEP accreditated sonographer programs. Best way to do this is to google CAAHEP accreditated sonography programs. From there, choose which university or community college you would like to attend! That school will have a specific degree/major for sonography! For instance, my undergrad I majored in radiology and imaging sciences.
