Au.D. Curriculum
The Au.D. curriculum has 90 credit hours, 66 credit hours of which
involve didactic instruction, the other 24 credit hours being clinical
practicum. Students must complete a minimum of 2000 hours of supervised,
clinical practicum during the AuD. The Au.D. takes a minimum of three
years to complete, with the program of study being as follows:
- The first year of the Au.D. emphasizes the science underlying the
discipline of audiology, with courses in anatomy and physiology of
the ear, acoustics, and psychoacoustics, and providing instruction
in audiometry, diagnostics, and amplification.
- The second year of the Au.D. focuses on courses that relate directly
to the scope of practice of the clinical audiologist, with instruction
in pediatric audiology, auditory disorders, amplification, rehabilitation,
counseling, and diagnostic tests.
- The third year of the Au.D. involves a full-time clinical externship
at an off-campus site and internet-based instruction in clinical audiology.
The Indiana University Au.D. fulfills the requirements for certification
in audiology specified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
for doctoral level audiologists (to become the entry-level qualification
on January 1, 2012).
