General information
The Doctor of Audiology degree is a four-year post-baccalaureate program that includes three years of course work an clinical experience plus a one-year equivalent full-time residency. Our program successfully prepares graduates to excel clinically and to fulfill the requirements brought on by the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CAPSD). The program in audiology allows students to meet all academic and clinical practicum requirements for the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) and the State of Connecticut’s requirements for licensure in audiology. It is expected that students will earn a minimum of 1820 clinical hours during full-time enrollment in the graduate program. A part-time option is not available at this time except in extenuating circumstances and with full approval of the faculty.
Dual degree: Au.D./Ph.D.
To prepare students for competitive opportunities in academia, the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences Program offers a curriculum of study leading to dual Au.D. and Ph.D. degrees. The department is committed to educating and training highly motivated individuals to become successful, independent clinical investigators and future leaders in academia. Academic courses encourage a theoretical perspective and experimental orientation to develop an appreciation of current knowledge and future research needs. This program allows qualified students to earn the Au.D. and Ph.D. degree more quickly than pursuing both degrees independently.
