Prof.D in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

The Doctor of Audiology trains students to prevent, evaluate, diagnose and manage hearing and balance problems and associated conditions. Audiologists test hearing and balance, and they provide rehabilitation through hearing aids, cochlear implants and counseling. The degree runs four years across eleven terms of full-time, on-campus study and requires 108 credit hours, including internships and externships. Clinical education moves through practicum, internship and a full-time externship year. Placements are available in Rush clinics and at other sites in the Chicago area. Faculty are practicing audiologists, so teaching ties coursework to patient care and research. The program page provides accreditation and licensure details, student outcome data, faculty profiles and links to admissions information and information sessions. Applicants can also read about career opportunities for audiologists.
