Doctor of Audiology Program
The Au.D. degree program, which allows the student to meet the academic and clinical requirements for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s (ASHA) Certificate of Clincial Competence in Audiology, is a four-year, full-time program. The first three years are in residence on campus, with students completing coursework, on- and off-campus clinical rotations, and a capstone research project. During the fourth year, students are placed in an intensive off-campus residency. The Au.D. program is fully accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). All students must complete 17 required core courses (51 credits), 6 credits of non-departmental statistics/research design coursework, and 6 credits of non-departmental electives. Students also must design and complete a 6-credit capstone research project. During this project students work closely with a faculty member to gain experience in planning, conducting, analyzing, and writing up results of a small-scale experiment.
