The department director changed several times during my enrollment. There are very limited options for clinical rotations. Even with a class of 8, many of us had to travel 45min-1hr for clinic. There are very few clinics to go to for experience with specialty tests and most of my cohort graduated without clinical experience for conservation, educational audiology, tinnitus evaluations and therapy, electrophysiology, and vestibular evaluations and therapy. For years, 3rd year students have scrambled to get KASAs for specialty tests before leaving for their externships. It is a departmental failure. The building is a repurposed radio tower that actually interferes with diagnostic equipment. It is in an unsafe area of town and you will have night classes.

What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
-
Very old building that leaks when it rains. The audiometer booths are in the basement with poor ventilation and it gets very hot and musty in the summer.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
-
No. Students lack exposure tinnitus evaluations, VNG & posturography, electrophysiology, and pediatrics. Many clinical rotations do not even do REM.
What are rotations like?
-
Clinical rotations are for 1-2 days weekly and are reassigned each semester.

Faculty support a culture of favoritism and bullying. What applies to one student may be different for another.
