2027 Verification of Course Completion for Cardiovascular and/or Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Applicant Information





The following section consists of the Cardiovascular (CVS) and Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) prerequisite courses. If you have not completed a course, you will be asked to indicate how you intend to complete each outstanding course to the best of your ability.

The CVS and DMS prerequisite courses may be in progress at the time of application; however, they must be completed with a "C" or better prior to the fall start of the program. Any grade lower than a "C" will be considered an incomplete course and will affect your eligibility for program admission.

**PLEASE NOTE: Beginning in the 2028 cycle, the program will require a B- or better in all prerequisites except Physics, which will require a C or better. If you plan to apply in 2027/2028 for the Fall 2028 start you will be expected to adhere to this requirement. Students applying this cycle (October 1, 2026 - February 1, 2027) will need a C or better in all prerequisites. 

Any applicant not able to complete the prerequisite courses prior to the fall start of the program should contact the College of Health Professions Student Services Office (CHPSSO) to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.

  • GVSU students may use Navigate to schedule an appointment
  • Non-GVSU students that have previously met with a CHP advisor can call the office at 616-331-5900 to schedule an appointment.
  • Non-GVSU students that have NOT previously met with a CHP advisor should click on the link below and complete the request form - a CHP receptionist will connect to get you scheduled.
Prerequisite Courses






























General Education Courses

The Cardiovascular (CVS) and Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program requires the completion of the "Foundations", "Cultures", and 1 "SWS" general education courses prior to the Fall start of the program. There are no exceptions to this requirement! The remaining 2-Issues and 1-SWS courses may be completed during the program.

Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA): Students that have attended a Michigan Community College and have met specific course requirements as outlined by their community college may be eligible for the MTA stamp. GVSU will award credit for the General Education Foundations and 1-SWS upon successful completion of the MTA and the receipt of an official community college transcript bearing the MTA credential. If you are unsure of how this process works please contact the records office at your Michigan community college for further assistance.
