Doctor of Audiology Curriculum
Auburn University’s Department of Communication Disorders offers first professional degree program of study, the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree.
The Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) Program is designed to provide students with academic and clinical practicum experiences that will meet or exceed the requirements of the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-AUD). Program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
US News & World Report magazine has recently ranked Auburn's Audiology program among the top 50 training programs in the nation's top public universities in its annual rankings. Read more >>
Overview of the Program:
The academic and clinical components of the Doctor of Audiology Program interact in a logical manner as the curriculum progresses over a four year period. Click here for a table (in PDF format) that shows the interaction of academic and clinical components through the training sequence. The early portion of training is largely academic and the later portions involve mostly applied clinical work. Thus, as the program progresses, the balance of academic and clinical work changes substantially moving from totally academic in the beginning to totally clinical at the end of the program. Note that this program is a joint program with Auburn University at Montgomery, so students will need reliable transportation to move between the two campuses.
