Audiology - AuD

The Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Utah State University offers a clinical Doctorate of Audiology (AuD). The program provides students with a broad, yet in-depth, academic, and practicum-based curriculum to prepare them to become certified audiologists in a variety of settings. Graduates have the skills to function at a high level of expertise in such environments as hearing and balance clinics, hospitals, private practice, research laboratories, hearing conservation programs, elementary schools, the military,and so on.

The program is a four-year post-baccalaureate residency program, with a long history, as it was the first of its kind in the Intermountain and Pacific West states.  In addition, USU is in the forefront of research in counseling, hearing aids, speech perception, hidden hearing loss, person-centered care, and telehealth applications in audiology. The AuD enables graduates to enter the field at a professional level and begin a rewarding career in hearing healthcare.
