Mandl School Diagnostic Medical Sonography Lab

 

If you want a stable, rewarding, and respected career, few paths offer more opportunity than healthcare. Earning an Associate Degree in Healthcare is one of the smartest investments you can make, offering strong job prospects, competitive pay, and the chance to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Fast Track to a Career

Unlike traditional four-year programs, associate degrees at Mandl School, The College of Allied Health can be completed in about two years. That means you can start earning and building real-world experience much sooner. Students can quickly enter growing fields such as Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Surgical Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Dental Assisting, or Medical Assisting.

High-Value

Healthcare associate programs are value-driven education opportunities: you can earn a degree and start a career far faster and for a fraction of the cost of a 4-year degree.  At Mandl, you’ll receive focused, hands-on training with smaller class sizes and personalized support.

Strong Job Demand

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects continued growth in healthcare careers over the next decade, especially for allied health professionals. Hospitals, clinics, and private practices need skilled team members who can step in right away, exactly the kind of graduates Mandl prepares.

A Career with Purpose

Beyond job security, a career in healthcare brings meaning. Every role, from medical assistant to surgical technologist, directly impacts patients and communities. With an associate degree, you’re not just earning a paycheck; you’re helping people live healthier, better lives.

Mandl School’s allied health programs are built to get you from the classroom to the career field efficiently and effectively.

Why an Associate’s Degree Can Jumpstart Your Healthcare Career

Career in Diagnostic Medical Sonography

If you’re passionate about helping others and looking for a fast, affordable way to break into the healthcare field, an associate’s degree might be your perfect starting point.

Healthcare is growing. Fast!

Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing industries, and many roles—like medical assistants, surgical technologists, diagnostic medical sonographers, and respiratory therapists—only require a two-year degree to get started. These programs are all offered at Mandl School, The College of Allied Health, making them more affordable and accessible than four-year programs. Even better, our programs all include hands-on clinical training that prepares you to step directly into a job after graduation.

An Associates Degree will get you started!

An associate’s degree can also serve as a stepping stone. You can start working sooner, gaining experience and earning income while continuing your education if you choose to pursue a bachelor’s or advanced degree later on.

Whether you want a quicker path to employment, a flexible entry point, or a solid foundation for future growth, an associate’s degree can be a smart move toward a meaningful healthcare career.
