Are there any credited schools for ultrasound technician in New Jersey?
I live in Northern NJ so I would like to find a school close by the area and in the state.

Start by asking at your local community college. If it does not have a program, it can refer you to one which does.

Go to http://www.caahep.org, that is the independent accrediting body for allied health professions. You can do a search for the programs on their site (they list it as diagnostic sonography or something similar). I bet NJ does since it’s a populous state.
PS I just searched and found 5 programs. Good luck to you.

Yes, there are 5 accredited programs in NJ:
Bergen Community College – Paramus, NJ
Gloucester County College – Sewell, NJ
JFK Medical Center – Plainfield, NJ
Sanford Brown Institute-Iselin – Iselin, NJ
University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey-North – Scotch Plains, NJ
For more info on each school’s program, go to this site: http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/
Search Diagnostic Medical Sonography in NJ and then it will provide you with links to each school’s website. Side note: Sanford Brown is not highly recommended where I live, plus it is ridiculously expensive.
