The
AuD Capstone "Clinical Project"
The Capstone Project is intended to be one of the final requirements of
the Au.D. degree. It allows the student to demonstrate the ability to
integrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired during the
program and to apply those skills to an audiologically related project.
Since the project demands a great deal of independent thought and
expression, it is a fitting culmination to their doctoral program. The
Capstone Project represents the student's skills, interests and
knowledge in the field of audiology and allow them to draw from their
didactic and clinical experiences to further develop their critical
thinking, writing and creative skills. There are a wide range of
possible formats and topics that fulfill the project requirements. Upon
completion of your project, students are expected to present their work
in an appropriate setting (e.g., local, state or national conference)
and if possible, submit their work for publication.
