The three-year and four-year curriculum models are designed to provide you with a state-of-the-art, clinically oriented education that will train you to be an independent provider of hearing and balance care for patients of all ages. Both programs emphasize evidence-based practices and hands-on clinical skills and will prepare you to seek national certification and/or eligibility for state licensure in audiology.
Where they differ is in the amount of time it takes to complete your degree.
- The three-year program is an accelerated version of the curriculum that presents the information found in the traditional four-year program in a shorter amount of time. This model consists of two full years of academic coursework and integrated clinical experiences followed by an external clinical practicum year. This option may be appropriate for individuals who wish to embrace a rigorous approach to their graduate education.
- The four-year program follows a more traditional model of three years of academic coursework and integrated clinical experiences followed by an external clinical practicum year. This option may be appropriate for individuals who wish to embrace a more pliable approach to their graduate education.
