About the Audiology Program
The AuD: A Clinical Doctorate in Audiology
Program Emphasis
The AuD program at ISU is committed to delivering a thorough and diverse clinical program with a strong emphasis in Audiologic Rehabilitation including hearing aids, cochlear implants, communication repair training, information counseling, and the psychosocial aspects of hearing impairment and deafness.
The program also provides strong clinical training in the areas of educational audiology, balance function assessment and rehabilitation.
Curriculum Design
The 95+ credit curriculum design allows the student to acquire all the basic audiological fundamentals and clinical skills in the first two years followed by advanced course work in third year and a variety of electives which the student may select based on interest.
Course sequence will move the student from introductory level concepts in the first semester through intermediate and advanced concepts and clinical applications in the following semesters. In the fourth year, the student will enroll in a clinical residency program where they will further refine their clinical skills.
Additionally, the program offers the opportunity to participate in "audiologically-rich" clinical rotations with clinical experiences in electrophysiology and balance function assessment, cochlear implants, hearing aids, pediatric and adult audiologic rehabilitation, and much more.
