About the School
Salus University's Osborne College of Audiology, established in 2000 and renamed in 2008 to honor its founding dean, Dr. George S. Osborne, offers a comprehensive Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program. This program is designed to prepare graduates to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with hearing and balance disorders. The college also provides an online AuD Bridge Program, a Master of Science in Clinical Audiology for international audiologists, and Advanced Studies Certificate Programs. The mission of the Osborne College of Audiology is to lead in innovative education, research, and service in training students for the practice of audiological medicine.
Curriculum
The AuD curriculum at Salus University is built upon a biomedical science and neuroscience foundation, emphasizing strong clinical training. Students gain close to 2,500 hours of clinical training, exceeding accreditation minimums, which provides them with a significant advantage as they enter the profession. The program offers both a traditional four-year track and an accelerated three-year track, both containing the same curriculum, with the three-year track being more condensed. Early clinical experience begins in the first term, with direct patient care starting in the second term.

The Pennsylvania Ear Institute, the on-campus clinical facility, provides hands-on training and exposes students to a wide range of hearing and balance disorders. Additionally, students have access to four training labs, including the Clinical Skills Lab with fully-equipped audiometric booths, the Vestibular and Balance Lab, the Electrophysiology Lab, and the Hearing Aid Lab. These dedicated spaces allow students to hone their skills without impacting clinic operations.
