AuD Programs: Every Accredited Doctor of Audiology Program in the US, by State

As of July 2026, the CAA reports 77 Doctor of Audiology (AuD) programs: 76 accredited, including five consortia, and one candidate program.

The CAA is the Council on Academic Accreditation, and its accredited-and-candidate listing is the authority this page follows.

The one candidate program — accredited-pending, not yet accredited — is Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions in Boston.

The CAA says five of the 76 accredited entries are consortia; consortium programs on the list include the CUNY program, the New York AuD Consortium, the Northeast Ohio AuD Consortium and the UW-Madison/UW-Stevens Point consortium.

For scale, the same July 2026 CAA data lists 336 SLP master's programs (305 accredited, 31 candidate) against the 77 AuD programs, so audiology has far fewer graduate programs than speech-language pathology.

The CAA says its accredited and candidate programs, audiology and SLP combined, are housed in 339 US institutions.

ASHA's 2025 CSD Education Survey counted 81 institutions offering the entry-level clinical doctorate in audiology in 2024-25.

That is a different measure, and both numbers circulate: ASHA's 81 counts institutions offering the degree, including ACAE-only, developing and closing programs, while the CAA's 77 counts accredited and candidate programs.

In the same survey, 792 first-year students enrolled and 777 entry-level audiology doctorates were granted in 2024-25.

Counts move as programs open, close and change status, so treat 77 as a dated snapshot rather than a permanent figure.

This is the CAA's July 2026 list in full, all 77 programs, sorted by jurisdiction — state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico — with each program's CAA status.

Names follow the CAA listing, which is why some read formally — "Louisiana Technical University" in Ruston, and "Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania" in Bloomsburg, the merged institution other lists still call Bloomsburg University.

Status labels are worth a minute.

Four programs carry the CAA's own label "Accredited - With Monitoring": Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, Lamar and Pacific University in Oregon.

The label is the CAA's, the programs remain accredited, and this page does not guess at the reason behind it.

Two closures are already scheduled: the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign program closes on August 15, 2028, and Northern Colorado's closes on June 12, 2028.

Both are still listed as accredited.

Arizona State's row carries a flag because the program itself raised it: on 8/23/2022 ASU told the CAA it planned to voluntarily withdraw accreditation due to the potential pending closure of the program, and the program keeps its accredited status until it closes.

Confirm current admission status with ASU before counting it as an option.

Washington's single entry is Western Washington University in Bellingham.

The University of Washington (Seattle) is historically accredited only — 2/2005 to 6/2021 — and does not have a current accredited AuD.

One consortium detail: the CUNY program is run by Brooklyn College, Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center, and its administration has moved from the Graduate Center to Brooklyn College.

Four more programs sit outside the CAA's 77 because they are accredited, or in development, under a different body — the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE).

Program	Location	ACAE status
California State University, Northridge	Northridge, CA	ACAE accredited 2/7/2023-2/28/2033; not in the CAA listing
California State University, Los Angeles	Los Angeles, CA	ACAE accredited 6/7/2022-6/30/2032; not in the CAA listing
University of Kentucky	Lexington, KY	ACAE Developing Status since 10/14/2025
University of Mississippi Medical Center	Jackson, MS	ACAE Developing Status; first class fall 2023

In California, state law lets the CSU system award the AuD: Assembly Bill 2317 (Chapter 267, Statutes of 2016) and Education Code section 66041.

The most recent CAA accreditations in the listing landed in 2025: California State University, Sacramento and Grand Valley State University in July 2025, and San Jose State University in February 2025.

Candidacy is the stage before accreditation, and it ends: University of the Pacific was a CAA candidate from 2/2015 to 2/2020 and has been accredited since, and Western Washington University moved from candidacy to accreditation in 2/2022.

The one current candidate is Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions in Boston, a candidate since 2/2023 with a review cycle running 2023-2028.

Two more Wisconsin entries appear on the listing as "Applicant for Accreditation": UW-Madison and UW-Stevens Point are each listed separately while their joint consortium teaches its final class, which starts in fall 2026.

UW-Madison's new independent AuD plans a first cohort that applies in spring 2027 and starts in fall 2027, at about 10 students a year.

On the ACAE side, Developing Status is how a brand-new program admits its first class before any accreditation exists.

The University of Mississippi Medical Center program was approved for Developing Status on 12/7/2021, admitted its first class in fall 2023 and is a 92-credit developing program — not an accredited one.

The University of Kentucky received ACAE Developing Status on 10/14/2025 and expected to admit its first class in summer 2026.

Developing Status does not mean a program is accredited, and it does not guarantee accreditation later.

Departures matter as much as arrivals: Western Michigan University's CAA accreditation ended in 4/2025, Samford University held candidacy from 7/2018 to 8/2022 and is now listed as nonaccredited, and Northeastern University's AuD was accredited from 5/2006 to 5/2020.

The rules themselves are moving too: the CAA's 2027 Standards for accreditation take effect on August 1, 2027.

Programs publish their own lengths, and both formats exist.

These tables list every program on the CAA list whose own pages state a three-year or four-year length that our research captured.

Three-year programs reach the same finish line with different machinery: Northwestern runs 12 quarters, Pacific University runs nine semesters year-round, Cincinnati starts in the summer, and the Northeast Ohio AuD Consortium runs 45 continuous months.

Externship years are built into some stated lengths: UConn describes three years of coursework and clinical experience plus a one-year residency, Ball State caps its four years with a one-year clinical externship, and Pitt's four years include a one-year externship.

Program	Length as the program states it
Arizona State University	Three years, with an optional fourth-year externship
Drexel University	On-campus, completed in just over three years
Northeast Ohio AuD Consortium	45 months, full-time and continuous
Northwestern University	12 quarters, three years
Nova Southeastern University	Three years, eight semesters, 119 credit hours
Pacific University (Oregon)	Three years, nine semesters, year-round
University of Cincinnati	Three years, nine semesters, summer start
University of the Pacific (San Francisco)	Three-year accelerated program

Program	Length as the program states it
A.T. Still University (Mesa, AZ)	Four years: three didactic years plus one year of full-time clinical rotations, 162.5 credit hours
Auburn University	Four years, 11 semesters including summers, 124 semester hours
Ball State University	Four years, capped by a one-year clinical externship
University of Colorado Boulder	Four years, 11 semesters
Central Michigan University	Four-year curriculum
East Tennessee State University	Four years full time
Louisiana State University Health New Orleans	11 semesters full time
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences	11 continuous semesters, August start to May finish four years later

Montclair State University	Four years including summers, 11 semesters, 118 credits
Rush University	Four years, 11 terms, 108 credit hours
SDSU/UC San Diego Joint Doctoral Program	Four years, about 134 semester units over 11-12 terms
Syracuse University	Four years, at least 77 graduate credits
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center	Four years, at least 101 credit hours over 10-11 semesters
James Madison University	Four years, 11 semesters, full-time residential
University of South Florida	Four years, full-time, 101 credits, residential
Vanderbilt University	Four years full time
Wayne State University	Four years, 11 consecutive semesters, 118 credits
Western Washington University	Four years full time

Our research did not capture a stated length for every program on the CAA list, so read these tables as the programs that publish one, not a verdict on the rest.

Lengths change: Cincinnati restructured from 11 semesters to its current three-year, nine-semester format in October 2020, so confirm the current length on each program's own page.

The 77 programs in the state section above are the CAA's July 2026 list in full, so a state or territory that does not appear in it held no CAA-accredited or candidate AuD program on that list.

If your state is not on the list, the accredited and candidate programs this page covers are in other states and territories.

Some single-program states are documented by the programs themselves: the University of Iowa says it is the only AuD program in Iowa, and Montclair State says it is the only AuD program in New Jersey.

Washington shows how quickly this changes: the University of Washington (Seattle) held CAA accreditation from 2/2005 to 6/2021 and is now historically accredited, leaving Western Washington University — whose first cohort enrolled in fall 2017 — as the state's active program.

Do not answer the question from other program lists without care.

The American Academy of Audiology's by-state list is out of date in places: it still includes Western Michigan University, whose CAA accreditation ended in 4/2025, and still names "Bloomsburg University," which the CAA now lists as Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania.

AAA's list also includes ACAE-only and developing programs, such as University of Mississippi Medical Center, Cal State Northridge and Cal State LA, so its state counts differ from the CAA's.

The same applies to ASHA's survey count: 81 institutions offered the degree in 2024-25 because that count includes ACAE-only, developing and closing programs, while the CAA's 77 counts accredited and candidate programs.

Start with accreditation status.

The CAA list is the one this page tracks, and a candidate program is a real option: ASHA's CCC-A certification standards accept a doctoral degree from a CAA-accredited program, a program in CAA candidacy, or the equivalent.

ACAE accreditation is the other route.

ACAE lists eight accredited AuD programs — Cal State LA, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Sacramento, San Jose State, Nova Southeastern, UNC-Chapel Hill, University of the Pacific and UT Dallas — and says accreditation is usually granted for a ten-year term.

Four programs are accredited by both bodies: University of the Pacific, UNC-Chapel Hill, UT Dallas and Nova Southeastern.

Graduates of non-CAA programs are not locked out of the CCC-A: ASHA's CFCC evaluates their transcripts against the content of a CAA-accredited clinical audiology doctorate.

Cohort size shapes the day-to-day.

ASHA's survey put mean capacity at 13.1 students and the median at 12 new admits per program.

The programs that publish a number run from James Madison's cohorts of 6-8 to ETSU's up to 12 a year and the SDSU/UC San Diego program's target of 11.

Format is the next filter: the three-year and four-year tables above cover the stated lengths, and some programs layer dual degrees on top — Iowa's combined AuD/PhD, Maryland's dual AuD/PhD track, Utah's dual AuD/PhD, USF's AuD/PhD and Purdue's combined clinical-and-research dual track.

Structures differ too.

Drexel's entry-level AuD builds in milestones toward an audiology assistant credential, hearing instrument specialist eligibility and a master's degree — an integrated multi-credential pathway.

The Northeast Ohio AuD Consortium is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic, and Gallaudet's program includes didactic and immersive training in American Sign Language and Deaf culture.

Funding is partial: 26.6% of 2024-25 admission offers came with funding, and of the 635 students offered admission with funding, 36.7% were offered assistantships and 56.9% scholarships.

The GRE is rarely required: only 8 of 74 responding programs — 10.8% — required GRE scores for admission in 2024-25.

Costs vary by program and residency; check each program's published tuition and cost figures before you apply.

The CAA's 2027 Standards take effect on August 1, 2027.
