Syracuse University provides an integrated AuD/PhD program for students seeking both a clinical doctorate (AuD) and a research doctorate (PhD). This 110-credit dual degree program enables participants to simultaneously advance their clinical skills and research expertise through an intensive, accelerated curriculum. Admission requires initial acceptance into the AuD program, with dual program applications considered after completing the first AuD year. Every AuD/PhD candidate must secure a faculty research advisor before enrolling in the combined program. The curriculum includes a first-year prequalifying examination and comprehensive exams upon finishing coursework. Students typically initiate their dissertation research during year four, with the entire dual degree program designed for completion within six years of full-time enrollment.
