The program in Audiology prepares doctoral level professionals to evaluate and manage individuals who are suspected or have been identified as having differences that are associated with hearing. The spectrum of services are spread over the lifespan of an individual. Audiologists may be involved in the early identification of hearing loss and the careful assessment and appropriate fitting of amplification (e.g. hearing aids, cochlear implants, other assistive listening devices). They may be involved in the management of children during their school years in educational settings, or work with adults with acquired hearing losses. Audiologists may help in the monitoring of vital signs during surgery, or the assessment of individuals who are dizzy or experience tinnitus. Work settings include hospitals, schools, industry, rehabilitation centers, community centers, and private practice settings. This is a profession with extensive job opportunities for those that complete a Doctor of Audiology (AuD) degree.
Degrees offered: AuD, Ph.D.
