About Us

Goals and Objectives of the School of Audiology

The primary goal of the School of Audiology is to graduate well-rounded and highly competent audiologists, ready to assume autonomous professional responsibilities in a variety of practice settings, including private practices, medical centers and clinics, and other diverse settings.

To achieve this goal, the faculty members strive to offer a curriculum that prepares students across the audiologic scope of practice through a combination of rigorous, theoretical didactic education and outstanding applied experiential education. Additionally, attention is given to providing a solid grounding in interprofessional competence and collaboration, evidence-based practice, professional and ethical behavior, critical thinking, and professional communication.

As a School, we are committed to fostering among our students a spirit of life-long professional learning, a commitment to service, and a desire to contribute to the advancement of the profession. Further, as part of our mission, we are also committed to developing healthcare programs that serve underserved communities and improve the lives of those in our region.
