Due to the competitive nature of the application process, students are encouraged to complete UNK’s general education requirements (LOPER courses) and use the electives to work towards the requirements of a UNK major to allow for the possibility of completing a Bachelor’s Degree from UNK if not accepted. Students should check with other sonography programs to which they intend to apply to ensure that requirements are fulfilled.
