Programs in Audiology

From its beginnings in 1965 under the leadership of Mark Ross, Noel Matkin and Tom Giolas, the UConn program in audiology has grown and flourished, providing academic and clinical training in a full range of diagnostic and rehabilitative services for children and adults.

Over the past 40 years, requirements for graduation with a clinical degree have expanded to meet the growing demands for greater knowledge and expertise in the profession of audiology. Now that a clinical doctorate will soon be required for licensure in audiology, UConn is pleased to announce that beginning in the Fall of 2004, students entering our graduate program in audiology will have several options available to them for obtaining a doctoral degree.

Each track toward a doctorate will provide our graduate students with state-of-the-art clinical and research training in audiology and hearing science. Students primarily interested in obtaining clinical certification to practice audiology will follow the AuD track. Those who would like to conduct research and teach in an academic setting without clinical certification will follow the PhD track. Those who seek both clinical certification and training in research and academics will follow the combined AuD/PhD track.

IMPORTANT: For those students applying to the clinical audiology program for Fall 2004, you should apply to the MASTERS program. Once the department's transition to the Doctor of Audiology is complete (final approval pending from the CT Dept. of Higher Education) you WILL be admitted into the AuD program.
