Overview

The Audiology Assistant Certificate allows students who are interested in audiology to work as an Audiology Assistant (AudA) during college, in preparation for grad school, or as a full-time career. As a college degree isn't required to work as an Audiology Assistant, the certificate can be taken separately from a bachelor's degree. OSU students who are already majoring in CDIS only need to add Audiology Clinical Methods in order to earn this certificate. As the only AudA program in Oklahoma, this certificate equips students to complete supervised clinical hours and to receive their AudA national ASHA certification through the C-AA exam.

 

The certificate can be taken by students who aren't pursuing a bachelor's degree as well as undergraduate students in any major. The program requires 16 credits of coursework outlined below. The program can be completed in four semesters while working full-time or studying in another field. Classes are all online and typically taken in a sequence of four semesters, followed by an in-person off-campus internship.
