What is the difference between a certificate, diploma, and associate’s degree in sonography?
I have been looking at schools to be an ultrasound technologist (sonographer) and at different schools you can get a diploma, certificate, or associate’s degree. I don’t know the difference though. The only school (Sanford Brown Institute) around me (in Ohio) offers a diploma in sonography. Is the pay the same? Is the education the same as an associate’s degree or a certificate?

the pay isn’t always the same or the education. to receive an associates you will take more classes and learn more for the degree than you would with a certificate or diploma. Between the diploma and certificate, they are going to be pretty much the same. If you get the associates then when going for a job, if someone else is applying that only has a diploma you would probably get the job because you have a higher degree. Not always the case though, but more often than not! Good luck with your schooling!
