Program details
Overview
The Doctor of Audiology is an accredited, faster-paced degree that prepares students to practice as clinicians through coursework grounded in evidence and extensive supervised work with patients. From the beginning, students take part in the entire range of clinical services offered in-house, and they may also join research efforts and humanitarian projects overseas.
A student chapter of the Student Academy of Audiology, a national organization, supports growth as a professional. The Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic gives students direct experience caring for patients under experienced faculty.
Study is on campus and full time, and cohorts start in the summer semester. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and meet a minimum grade point average. They apply both through the Graduate School and the centralized CSDCAS service, supplying transcripts, a statement of purpose and letters of recommendation.
