Doctor of Audiology: The Program
The Department of Audiology and Speech
Pathology offers a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree program through
the College of Health Related Professions at the University of Arkansas
for Medical Sciences in a consortium with the College of Professional
Studies at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. This unique
educational and training consortium combines the academic and clinical
resources of a major medical sciences campus with those of a large,
comprehensive, metropolitan university. The curriculum is designed to
emphasize the science of hearing, speech, and language; the acquisition
of knowledge about human communication disorders; and the study and
practice of methods for evaluation and treatment. Practicum experiences
are provided at a number of different settings, primarily in the central
Arkansas area. Two program tracks are offered to students; one is the
post-baccalaureate track and the other is the post-master's track.
