Sc.D. in Audiology

This program announcement document describes the entry level clinical doctorate and two other possible options, the post-professional clinical doctorate and the entry level Research Doctorate. The broad-based academic coursework and clinical practica for each program will enable students to develop the skills needed to provide audiological assessment and intervention to individuals with hearing problems.
