Doctor of Audiology in Normal United States | Illinois State University

The Department of Communication Sciences Disorders serves as both an academic unit and a professional training program, emphasizing both scholarly learning and hands-on clinical practice. Students who complete CSD graduate programs gain qualifications for careers in various clinical environments, including private practices, public institutions, and academic settings. Our department's primary goal is to deliver an exceptional, student-centered education that cultivates ethical, dedicated, empathetic, and skilled professionals. The Audiology Clinical Doctorate (AuD) represents a rigorous four-year postgraduate program requiring 54 academic credit hours, 26 clinical credit hours, and 6 hours of Capstone Independent Study. AuD candidates generally engage in four to five semesters of clinical work at our campus facility. As they advance through these clinical rotations and demonstrate competency, they qualify for shorter off-site clinical placements during their final three on-campus clinic semesters. The program culminates with a yearlong clinical residency starting summer of year three and concluding spring of year four. Graduates emerge with comprehensive clinical expertise needed to begin autonomous practice in audiology.
