About

The Au.D. program at Wayne State University is designed to provide students with the greatest clinical education opportunities available. The clinical and academic curricula are designed to help students meet the credential of licensure and to be consistent with the standards of the Council on Academic Accreditation. Students have the option of following a clinical curriculum that will lead to certification by ASHA.

The doctor of audiology degree is the entry-level degree that is required to practice as an audiologist. The Au.D. degree program at Wayne State University is designed to prepare students to meet Michigan state licensure requirements for entering clinical practice as an audiologist.

The Au.D. program is specifically designed for individuals who have completed an undergraduate degree from an accredited university and who have met the prerequisite requirements for admission to the Au.D. This is a four-year (11 consecutive semesters) full-time academic and clinical program. Most students who have completed an undergraduate degree in communication sciences and disorders meet our coursework requirements for admission. Students with undergraduate degrees in other fields may need to complete prerequisite courses prior to admission to the graduate program.

Prerequisite courses for admission to the Au.D. program include coursework in behavioral and social sciences, mathematics, natural science, human communication, language acquisition, phonetics, acoustics and/or speech science, and an introductory course in human communication disorders. Most students have also completed additional introductory coursework in speech-language pathology and audiology.

Information on careers in audiology is available from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

However, if you have completed an honors degree, additional undergraduate coursework beyond the three-year bachelor's degree, or a graduate degree, you may be considered for admission.

If you are applying to a master's program, your minimum undergraduate GPA must be 2.75 or its equivalent in upper division coursework. If you are applying to a doctoral program, your minimum undergraduate GPA must be 3.0 or its equivalent in upper division coursework.
