Each course is 5 credit hours for a total of 45 credit hours. This is a great investment when you consider the value an Au. D. degree adds to your career. Two consecutive courses are offered each semester. Therefore, a student completing two courses per semester can complete the program in as few as five semesters.
Students can enter the program at any time and can complete the courses in any order.
Each course involves clinical competencies that must be demonstrated by each student. These are performed in your regional area under the guidance and direction of the Regional Facilitator in collaboration with the Course Instructor. If applicants can demonstrate through a portfolio and assessment of outcome-based clinical competencies that they have adequate clinical expertise in the area, they may receive credit for all or a portion of the practicum requirements of that particular course. This decision is made by the University's Au. D. faculty in correspondence with your Regional Facilitator.
