Doctorate in Audiology

Overview | Admissions Requirements | Curriculum

Overview

Studying audiology at the University of Pittsburgh puts you ahead of the game.

The professional Doctorate of Audiology (AuD) will be the required entry-level degree for audiologists by 2012, and it is strongly recommended for all entering the profession at this time.

Our AuD curriculum exceeds the academic and clinical standards established by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the  American Academy of Audiology for this professional degree.

This AuD program prepares entry-level audiologists for private practice, leadership roles in the profession, and clinical faculty positions in academic centers. 

Entry-level students (with a baccalaureate degree in communication science and disorders) will complete four years of study (11 trimesters, 92 credits in courses plus credits clinical practica), including one-year externship, meeting all requirements for degree and state licensure—as well as all clinical practicum requirements for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC).
