The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences offers coursework leading to B.S., M.S., Au.D. and Ph.D. degrees. The Doctor of Audiology program (Au.D.) is a first professional degree with a clinical emphasis in audiology. The Au.D. program of study is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Graduate College and to prepare students to meet the knowledge and skill areas required by the profession and its certifying organizations.
The Clinical Doctoral program in Audiology and Master of Science program in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Arizona are accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
The information that follows is subject to change. The Departmental requirements and practices summarized herein supplement those described in the University's General and Graduate Catalogs. In case of conflict, the appropriate Catalog prevails. Students are held to Departmental requirements in effect at the time they are admitted to the program unless they formally choose to meet new requirements.
The faculty members of the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences are committed to providing graduate education, both academic and clinical, of the highest quality . They are also committed to increasing the number of well qualified audiologists whose backgrounds are underrepresented and whose career interests include serving individuals in underserved populations of the state and nation.
Applicants for admission to the Au.D. program must possess the capability to complete, with or without reasonable accommodations, the entire clinical curriculum. This curriculum requires certain demonstrated proficiencies that are separate from academic requirements. To achieve these proficiencies, the Clinical Graduate Program requires that each student be able to meet certain technical standards. These technical standards can be found in Appendix A, and each student is asked, upon admission, to verify that s/he can meet the standards.
