Our vascular technology program will prepare you for a career as a vascular technologist, vascular sonographer or cardiovascular technologist. You will learn how to operate high-tech sonography equipment, perform vascular tests on patients to find abnormalities and develop a clinical understanding of major vascular diseases and disorders.
