How this is computed

Compiled by Radif Partners · How the rules were read

New Hampshire is one of the five places that license sonographers, and it licenses nearly every imaging modality besides: radiography, limited operators, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, interventional work, radiation therapy and radiologist assistants. Its board sits in the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification, whose site refused our reader. NHTI in Concord trains most of the state’s graduates and awards sonography as a certificate rather than a degree; River Valley Community College in Claremont is the second radiography program. Both charge about $7,000 a year to residents and about $15,000 to others. By awards in 2023-24, the largest programs were NHTI-Concord's Community College in Concord (radiography, 31), NHTI-Concord's Community College in Concord (sonography, 13) and River Valley Community College in Claremont (radiography, 10).
