Accelerated Doctorate Degree Plan: Audiology

An accelerated plan helps you earn two degrees, sooner.

You can take courses that count toward your undergraduate (bachelor's) and graduate degrees.

About the accelerated audiology program

This accelerated pathway covers the required courses for your bachelor's degree (major) and some of the required courses for the doctorate degree in audiology.

Under this plan, you will:

• Earn a bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders with an audiology emphasis.
• Begin your doctorate degree in audiology during your senior year (eighth semester, fall).
  • You will need to complete all program requirements for the audiology degree, which would take about three years under this accelerated plan.

Up to 12 credit hours can count toward both degrees.
