About the School
The University of Massachusetts Amherst offers a Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program through its Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, which is part of the School of Public Health and Health Sciences. This four-year, full-time program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), ensuring that graduates meet the academic and clinical requirements for national certification as audiologists.
Curriculum
The AuD curriculum spans eight semesters over four academic years. The first three years involve on-campus coursework, on-campus and off-campus clinical rotations, and a capstone research project. The fourth year is dedicated to a full-time, off-campus clinical externship. Students are required to complete 17 core courses (51 credits), one departmental elective (3 credits), 3 credits of non-departmental statistics coursework, 6 credits of non-departmental electives, and a 6-credit capstone research experience. Additionally, students must pass a written comprehensive exam near the completion of their coursework.
Facilities
The program's facilities include the Center for Language, Speech, and Hearing, which offers diagnostic and rehabilitative services to the local community. This center provides students with in-house clinical training opportunities. Beyond the on-campus clinic, students gain additional clinical experience through off-campus placements at cooperating hospitals, private practices, and schools for the deaf.
Demographics
The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at UMass Amherst has a strong track record of student success, with a 97.9% post-graduation employment rate. The program emphasizes diversity and inclusion, preparing clinicians to work with individuals from linguistically and culturally diverse populations across the lifespan.
