Build connections between coursework and clinical experiences from the very beginning of your program. You’ll begin making a difference immediately.
Program Overview Our Doctor of Audiology program combines a block curriculum that immerses students in one subject at a time for more effective learning with our groundbreaking Audiology Simulation Laboratories to inspire an ongoing motivation to learn.
First Professional Year During the first year of the AuD program, classes and clinical practicum focus on the knowledge and skills necessary to complete a basic audiologic evaluation and implement a basic intervention plan.
Clinical experiences involve directed clinical observation followed by weekly clinical practicum assignments.
Second Professional Year The second year of the AuD program provides a more advanced curriculum, with students spending most of their class time in concentrated specialty blocks. Clinical practicum experiences during year 2 include three clinical internship rotations, locally or nationally.
Third Professional Year The third year of the AuD program is focused on full-time clinical externship placements at facilities across the country. Students also participate in an online seminar focused on addressing professional practice issues and case studies.
“The accelerated Pacific AuD program allowed me to experience every facet of the field and provided excellent internships to grow as a clinician. The lab facilities along with knowledgeable professors prepared me to tackle the workforce. Without the program, I would not have the amazing position that I have now!”
Our unique block curriculum helps you focus on and master one area of content at a time. And each block builds on the preceding one to create a solid foundation.
