The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences' Doctor of Audiology (AuD) degree program is one of the nation's most respected and stands at No. 2 in the most recent ranking by U.S. News & World Report. The AuD Program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE) and the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). The degree provides clinical preparation in the identification, diagnosis and management of hearing and balance disorders across the lifespan.
The program offers students unique clinical, research and outreach experiential opportunities. Clinical rotations at the two UT Dallas Callier Center campus sites and numerous clinical, hospital, private practice and school systems within the Dallas-Fort Worth area provide students extraordinary clinical experiences across the scope of audiology practice, in diverse healthcare settings, and across the patient lifespan. Students complete a required mentored research experience, often resulting in presentations at state, national, or international professional meetings. Students are encouraged to take advantage of additional opportunities to participate in faculty research laboratories and community, humanitarian, and advocacy projects. The faculty includes internationally acclaimed audiologists and hearing scientists who actively participate in teaching, research, publishing and professional activities.
The program's mission is to guide students in attaining the essential knowledge and skill for entry into the practice of audiology. The commitment to provide the breadth and depth of classroom and practical experiences is consonant with each student's developing interests and career goals. Career preparation is supported through comprehensive curriculum, innovative and collaborative clinical services on campus and in the global community. We maintain an active program of research in understanding, treating and preventing disorders associated with auditory and vestibular impairments. Students interested in parallel research training are encouraged to apply to enter the PhD program in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
