Affiliation with State University of New York Empire State University
Home > Admissions > Affiliated College
Center for Allied Health Education (CAHE) has an affiliation agreement with State University of New York Empire State University (SUNY ESU). This affiliation allows students entering CAHE’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Radiography programs without a degree to fulfill the associate degree requirements by obtaining a degree through SUNY ESU.
Furthermore, students entering the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program who possess an associate’s degree or higher at the time of enrollment can complete the coursework traditionally classified as a “pre-requisite” to a sonography program.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY PROGRAM
Students who hold an associate’s degree or greater:
- Students will register to take the outstanding math, English, and science courses at SUNY ESU to satisfy the program’s requirements.

- To be eligible for transfer credit for the above courses, students must have achieved a letter grade of a “C” or greater in a credit-bearing comparable course through an acceptable institution. Students will be exempt from any courses for which transfer of credit has been officially awarded.
