AuD doctoral
The Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program is a four-year, post-baccalaureate course of study designed to prepare students as clinical audiologists. The program at the University of Northern Colorado emphasizes a clinician-scholar model and is designed to prepare students as independent clinicians, utilizing evidence based-practice along with the latest advances in evaluation and treatment of hearing and balance disorders. The curriculum is based upon a foundation of didactic courses including science and research methods in addition to clinically based classes which allow students to grow as clinicians by providing hands-on experiences. A unique aspect of our program is the opportunity to do some student teaching. We feel this additional opportunity broadens career choices for our students.
• The Field of Audiology
Audiology is the science of hearing and the study of auditory and vestibular processes. Students study the development, anatomy, physiology and pathology of the auditory and vestibular systems, as well as the evaluation, rehabilitation and psychological aspects of hearing and balance disorders. Audiologists work with all age populations, from infants to the elderly, in clinical settings, such as hospitals, schools and clinics. They measure hearing ability, identify hearing and balance disorders, provide rehabilitative services, provide auditory training, assist in differential diagnosis of sensory and neurological disorders, assess the need for amplification devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, and instruct clients in the care of hearing devices. Many audiologists also serve as consultants to industry and government on issues related to environmental, noise-induced hearing loss.
