Ultrasound Technician Schools in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's sonography schools are all accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), which means there are a number of Wisconsin ultrasound technician schools from which to choose. Hospital-based certificate programs, community college-based associate's degrees, and university-based bachelor's degrees are all available. No matter which route you take, ultrasound students take classes in biology, anatomy, and related sciences.

Today, ultrasound technicians are in demand, and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual mean salary is $52,760. Wisconsin, whose motto is "Forward," boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates and lowest cost of living indices in the country.

Wisconsin: An Activity Hub

If you become a Wisconsin resident, expect warm, friendly people, lots of dairy products, and scenic surroundings. The state's abundant lakes, rivers, forests, and rolling hills change with the four distinct seasons each year. Wisconsin is home to Milwaukee's Summerfest (a large outdoor music festival), three major sports teams (Packers, Bucks, and Brewers), and the Wisconsin Fair. And, the Badger State embodies recreational diversity. You can find water, winter, and summer activities, plus adventure sports--the state's residents enjoy more than 20,000 miles of snowmobile trails, and Somerset is a well-known inner tubing mecca. The many attractions (zoos, festivals, casinos, water parks, etc.) draw visitors from around the world. Wisconsin is also rich in arts, historic, and cultural places, performances, and events.

Wisconsin's three most populated cities are Milwaukee, Madison (the state capital), and Green Bay. Landmarks include the Wisconsin Dells (a train station) and Lake Superior.
