The academic coursework for the standalone UWSP Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) program, starting summer 2028, will be offered over nine total terms. Students will also enroll in practicum courses (e.g., CSD 991-993 Clerkship in Audiology) each term. All knowledge and skill standards for accreditation are covered in this array of courses.
Students will begin their practicum learning on campus in the Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic for three terms. Students will be placed in part-time off-campus rotations for practicum during their terms 4-6 in the second year. Students will complete the program with a full-time externship during terms 7-9.
The students will use knowledge learned in the classroom at each clinical practicum experience for applied hands-on learning each term. In addition, clinical experiences during the second-year summer term involves mentoring students in the first year. Each student will receive individualized advising each term of the program.
