9 Best Sonography Programs In Fort Worth, TX (2022 Updated)

I attended this schools OTA program and I can guarantee you will not get a better education anywhere else. The crew there prepare you so well for the field. As for the school, it's amazing. Hit by a tornado and it didnt affect the students learning experience. Covid hit and they already had a plan set to make sure no one got pushed back. The cons are small and understandable. Financial aid sometimes forgets to send you the email to renew so just keep up with it yourself. And some other enrollment/payment procedures are a bit lax to where you need to keep up with them. But they deal with the whole school so it's understandable that a few slip through. Definitely take a tour and see if this schools for you. They have a variety of professions you can go into. The schools been updated since the tornado and it looks immaculate, they really did a good job of fixing and upgrading the facility at the same time.Cjloha

I was kinda rushed into starting and didn't realize the online-only curriculum was going to involve soooooo much writing and citing and having to include references in 4 weeks. For each course there is so much emphasis put on research for writing essays and 1-6 page papers that there is less time to actually read all the text and retain/comprehend what you're studying. The essays aren't too bad, but then you have to come up with creative ways to respond to 2 or more of your peers explaining why you agree or disagree with what they each posted. What ever happened to reading the text and studying, listening to a lecture or two and then working on an assignment or a test? It my just be the 4 week time period, with new assignments and discussions due each week, that gets me frazzled. I may have to switch to hybrid or in person learning soon.Newest Times

The school does not give you enough information prior to getting into the program. They charge you stupid fees which do not sense and go as far as increasing already high school fees. How do you charge online students technology fees for using the school's blackboard to complete assignments on top of $660 per credit. They tell you at the last minute you have a balance to pay. Very poor communication on all levels. The director of my program is the only reason I am graduating from this school. I will never refer anyone here again. Not now not ever. This school is a waste. Attend if you have money to pay.lilian Adetope

I am a current student at CHCP and I can tell you the school is great ,and they do make you feel very comfortable , the staff is very kind and helpful, they are truelly there for you when you need a hand with class concerns, personal issues or life issues, their open door policy is very real and comforting to have when you feel like you have no one to turn to if you need to talk. I am taking the M.A. course and my instructors Ms.Myers and Ms Ewing are amazing instructors. This school is DEFINITELY a place to come to to get your medical education. Well worth a tour and attending.. I've built friendships that will last a very long time..you become like a family because you are classmates who lean on each other to get through.Tanya Estrada

CHCP is the place to go if you are seeking for a Career in the Medical Field. All of the Staff truly care about you and really want to see you do well and achieve the success you are reaching for. I would personally like to give recognition to Ms. Lynne Turner , she is top tier one of the best instructors on campus. She strives to do her absolute best to make sure her students feel welcomed and continuously goes above and beyond ensuring her students have all the tools they need for Success! 👏🏾 Shout out to Ms. Turner!! Teacher of the year!! 🎉 🏆Joseph Armstrong

I loved the school. The teachers, career services, financial aid and admissions are such great people and very helpful. I loved feeling welcoming, being taught so much in such a short amount time. Even if they’re not your instructors and need help you can always go to any of them and they will help you out with anything you need help with. Great environment, good vibes and a great place to meet people. I was in the M.A. program and they helped me get a job when I was in school and also helped me to get a job once I was done with externship.Mariana Tobar

The only reason I placed 2 stars is because the dean and the man who enrolled us was great. But other than that,the reviews for this school is spot on. They care only about money. After financial aid,I was told I still needed to pay 221.00 a month or my daughter would be kicked out. The lady who assisted with FA couldn't care less about anyone who goes to this school. And don't have colored hair either,they'll make you change it. When my daughter could not log in to the online course,no one bothered to help or contact us. I had my daughter withdraw. 18,000 dollars and not even a call back. So I'd shop around for a school and make sure its best for you. This one tho,was not it.Katt T

When researching schools and you read “for-profit” as Concordes main description- believe it. I was accepted into the dental hygiene program and was asked to put a down payment of an amount that was almost 5x my rent. I was considered an “independent student.” (no financial help from family) As soon as I communicated the amount was not doable the school redacted my acceptance and gave my spot to someone else… so before you put all your time, money, and effort into this school-don’t. I cannot speak for the program itself and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the instructor… but at the end of the day that doesn’t matter if Concorde is “for-profit” and not for education.Emilee Gestes

Please do not go to this school. The instructors are very disrespectful and do not teach anything. The purpose is to fail you so that you can pay again since you have to retake the whole semester. The first term had a 30 students class and it went down to like 12 of us. This term everyone is failing so far because the term 2 teacher is random and does not go by the book.There are around 5 students in term 5 which is the last term and most of them have repeated at least one term. I am looking into other programs. Stay away, it is easy to get into the program, but you won't learn anything and NCLEX passing rates are low according to the instructors.Kukita Arocha

I had a great experience with Stone Academy. I took the 13 day CNA class. Christina was a wonderful instructor! She covered a multitude of information in a short time period and made it easy to retain. I completed the program feeling super confident in my skills and knowledge . The entire staff is wonderful and always willing to provide assistance. I’m excited to return soon for the Phlebotomy class with Ms.Tonia.Claudia Holbert

Omg what can I say hands down this was the best experience ever I just love Ms.Nikki and Shay I’m so glad I chose Stone academy if I could give a thousand stars I would 😊 because of these wonderful people I am now a certified CNA 💪🏾 I can’t thank you guys enough you guys rock I recommend Stone academy if want to get the right training they will get you were you need to be..Sherice Campbell

Great place to get your CNA license. They work with you and do their best to get you ready for the test. I was nerves but I pass the first try…thanks to nikki. I got a job right away too.Ruby Santillano

I have been attending Columbia College in Fort Worth, Texas for two years and I can honestly say I have no complaints. Mrs. Michelle, Mrs, Jenny, and Ms. Simone are absolutely wonderful (although Ms. Simone has moved on). The faculty is equally great. Everyone here makes the college experience a smooth transition.Kevin Shirley

I taught at Tarrant County College from 2015-2018. While there were a few good students at TCC, many were the worst I have ever encountered on a college campus in my almost 20 years of teaching. The problem is the administration makes it known that their top priority is to "retain" students. No mention is made of preparing them for the workplace or for transferring to a four year school and finding academic success there. In fact, in a faculty meeting, which was focused exclusively on attracting and retaining students, I suggested improving the academic standards to better prepare the students for their academic training as most transfer to four year schools. I further suggested following students from TCC to see how they fare after they leave school. If they have better training and, hence, better grade averages and graduation rates at the four year college level, then we could advertise how TCC produces better results for their students. I was scoffed out of the room. I was later fired, in mid-semester, for offending the "Woke" sensibilities of some Fort Worth ISD students who reported me to FW ISD Director of Advanced Studies, Brenda Carter. I was teaching two dual course courses in economics. I had the students read, as I have since the Fall of 2015, Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt's article in *The Atlantic,* "The Coddling of the American Mind." The authors question PC sensibilities on campus and argue for a robust free discussion of any relevant issues and perspectives in class. I use this discussion to prepare students for the rough and tumble of my classes that encourages open dialogue with each other, myself, and the theorists we study. I make extensive use most every class of the Socratic Method to stimulate thought and engage with the material we study. For this transgression, Ms. Carter demanded that I be removed immediately. I later found out that Ms. Carter demanded that I never be allowed to teach high school students from FW ISD ever again. The administrators at TCC wanted me out for this reason as well as my actually testing students in previous semesters for the ability to master the material & reason about what they had learned. When they show they have, they receive a good grade. When they do not, they receive the failing grade that they have earned. Before I came to TCC, I rarely failed any students. At TCC, I failed students who refused to come to class and to even take the tests. I was openly pressured by the departmental Chair, Alicia Lupinacci, to keep testing students until they passed or offer easier tests. That is highly unethical. She was told to make that demand by the administrators led by Bryan Stewart. Dr. Lupinacci fired me after she openly complimented my teaching and had given me favorable evaluations in the past. She brought into my classroom another instructor during these attacks on me by Brenda Carter to judge my teaching. This woman, Meryl Cope, said that my class was "intense" and integrated material in a "brilliant" manner. But she said the students were not up to such demands as I placed on them during the class when I peppered them with questions. She thought the class should only deal with simple terms and the very basics of the subject without any historical context or any applications and contrasts and comparisons. Apparently, Ms. Cope was not aware we were in a college and not a public high school. So, if you want a real education that will prepare you for advanced courses at schools like TCU or UT or Texas A&M, this is not the school for you. If you want a diploma mill where you are not required to perform up to the standards of a major university, then this school would be a perfect fit for you. This college is not a college. This is a sieve run by and for the advancement of educational bureaucrats who care nothing for students and everything for shaking students down for $$$ in return for non-demanding classes so the administrators can move up the next level of colleges to increase their income and status.

This week I visited the TCC Trinity River Campus and was informed that campus President Dr. Madison has made it clear that all staff and faculty are to park on the upper levels 6 & 7. However, I did notice a faculty vehicle parked in a handicapped space on the 2nd level parking space. Dr. Madison has always conducted himself as a person with high standards and expects the same from his staff, some staff, and faculty believe they are above the rules and don't adhere to them, one the reasons for their actions is that the Campus Police do not ticket their vehicle when they park on the lower levels. I have informed Campus Police several times of staff/faculty parking on lower levels and was told they can park there, I would respond per the President's directive all staff and faculty are to park on levels 6&7 where it is secured and students and visitors do not have access. Finally, I even filed a complaint with the head of the Police Department and was ignored.Michael Thompson

Hourly wage offered here is horrible and not even livable. Student employees need to take out loans to continue to work here. Summer hours make zero sense as students are limited to access to even the library. The response to this is that students can park their car in the garage and use the Wi-Fi from their car. It is ridiculous to pay the same as spring and fall but have less access to the building. Also, as regular citizens are expected to cut the usage of electricity during the summer, building like this don’t seem to take any part in that since the building still have ac running three days it is closed but students are not allowed in the building. This school system needs to catch up to the reality of the students by paying a higher wage that matches the 30% rise in rent in TARRANT COUNTRY and being more considerate to the students to have access to the faculties. Or this 2 year college should changes its name.Merlely Bird

It was my first time visiting the campus and the college is really nice and clean. However, I wish the staff would know the difference between down town Dallas and Fort Worth because I was informed several times that my program was at the Dallas location and I live in Rockwall TX so it's an hour commute without traffic. At the main campus I went to the advising desk to turn in my application she pointed me to another location and that person pointed me to a different location that was at the east location away from the main campus. I was very frustrated because even on the program application it has the main campus address. This is the only college that offers this program so I'm kind of stuck going here but even the website is unorganized and all over the place. If I didn't need this as badly as I do I wouldn't attend this college. But I'm program director is nice and the staff for this program is helpful and friendly. I also heard good things about this program so I'm excited to start my courses.Tawauna Renea

I would not suggest this school for anyone wishing to learn. The helpful and effective professors are few and very far. 90% of the time you're being taught by youtube, literally. It doesn't end with the teachers, counselors are equally lack luster. I actually witnessed and transfer counselor call a student "stupid" for taking chemistry because its a hard class and they might not get a good grade. Crime is rampant on campus also. Almost weekly crime report emails are sent ranging from sexual assault to car robbery. They built the college directly across from the county jail! Like you literally cross the street after being released from jail and you are on the college campus. Rude teachers, convicted felons of all kinds, and a total lack of organization makes me wish I could give this 0 stars.Robyn Pryne

This is the worst school I have ever heard of! The teachers don’t work with you or even care about the student education! All staff and employees are there for just a paycheck and it deff shows! I passing rate is low bc teachers don’t teach they just expect u to know! The entire 2 years I went to school there I taught myself! Even during a pandemic teachers just post assignments with teaching them! YouTube is a better teacher! I will be transferring to a better school!! To anyone and everyone take your money else where bc you will regret it!Porsha C

Update : I start my new job today as a NCT. I followed the leads that were updated on the facebook page. Listen to what Mr. Stacy & Scott say. Apply to jobs while taking the class, background check can take a while ( 1 month for my new job), getting your stuff back from the Texas Medical Board takes a while. I'm starting at $16.00 and hour, full time with benefits. Don't listen to what one person ( and his friends) posted because he would not follow directions. Would you want some one like that working on your loved ones? I am a student in my 3rd week. Im not sure why the reviews are bad. 1. It states on the website, in the book, and when you speak with anyone there that it is "No refund" I'm sure if issues came up( such as with me. I had to move classes 3 times) and you spoke like a normal human, with respect that they would work with you.( just like college.) 2. Not finding a job is 100% on you. They are not to go out and find you places to submit your resume. ( Funny thing – ***if you listened during class *** turn in your resume and they will go over it and help you with having a professional resume. 3. I have been there 15 days and have had many face to face conversations with Stacy. Outside of his class, and on the phone. Also I went to get my NCT, and I am walking away with my BLS, DOT UA DOT BREATH. Which is not part of the class, and they have worked it to where we get discounts on them. Those are not The X Ray Academ's responsibility, nor their problem to find instructors to come in and give discounts for us. I am not done with the class but I have had 3 job interviews, 2 of which are wanting a second interview.Angel Derden

Just finished the 3 week course on the 25th of June. I enjoyed the class! Online learning can be challenging but Ms Kelli made the class as enjoyable as possible. As a class we share laughter as well as knowledge. It was a good experience. I’ve already recommended the course to my cousins who are interested in the medical field! Loved it and would take course all over again if i had to lol & our class basically became a little x Ray learning family lol had a blast. And the hands on day was great! It was older equipment but i do feel prepared to work in the field after learning how to use the older equipment. It really makes a difference. Ima a hands on learner so online sometimes things didn’t click or make sense to me. But the Hands on day makes all the difference if you’re like me. Kelli was so patient with all of us and the mock (patient – x ray tech scenarios) were funny and amazing! Love it!! Thank you ms Kelli!!BlissBriii

I really enjoyed my studies at this school! The instructor, Stacy Palmer, is a very experienced Radiologic Technologist (R), has arranged a well-rounded curriculum, and is a really cool person! We had a lot of fun over the eight weekends we attended class, and learned a lot about x-ray technology and patient positioning. We also got to learn how to prepare a patient for an EKG (ECG) exam, and Stacy arranged for a CPR instructor to come by the day after our last class so we could be certified in Basic Life Support (BLS). Overall, the entire experience was awesome, and I would definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in being a licensed NCT (Non-Certified Tech) X-Ray Technician!Scott Kanaporius

The nursing program at TCU is good; it is the second-best nursing school in Texas. However, if you are not ready to spend and possibly waste a substantial amount of money, if you are not sure about becoming a nurse, and if you hate schools that focus on weeding people out, then this is not the place for you. I spent one semester at this school, and I hated being there from the beginning because one, I was not used to being in an environment that lacks diversity. Two, like I said the nursing program is good but only if you are passionate about becoming a nurse and if you seek help on time when needed, because if not they will not have a problem weeding you out, and that’s what happened to me. Once they kick you out that’s it, they basically drop you like a hot potato and when you leave they hardly care, because they got your money, they got what they wanted.Lola B
