Become an Audiology Assistant!

If you want to work in the field of audiology without or before attending grad school, the audiology assistant certificate is the perfect option for you! Obtain hands-on clinical experience, practice hearing device maintenance, and work to provide patients with the highest level of care. 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 can be completed in four semesters while working full-time or studying in another field.

More about the certificate

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 Clinical Methods in Audiology 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 ASHA certification through the C-AA exam. The coursework can be completed fully online. Clinical practicum is done in person, can be arranged by our internship coordinator for any US location, and can begin before finishing coursework, allowing students to study while working and work toward completing their clinical hours prior to certification.
