Audiology Program
Pre-professional track
As an audiologist, you'll help protect your patients' hearing and health by preventing, diagnosing and treating all kinds of hearing, balance, and auditory disorders. Hamline’s audiology pre-health track will provide you with countless opportunities for hands-on research, support you in graduate program applications, and prepare you for an audiology career.
Audiologists are healthcare professionals who provide patient-centered care related to hearing, balance, and other auditory disorders for people of all ages. They frequently work with other medical specialists, speech-language pathologists, educators, engineers, researchers, and allied health professionals.
Hearing and balance disorders are complicated diagnoses that can affect every facet of a person's life, from medical, psychological, physical impacts to negative social, educational, and employment outcomes. Your classes and internships will prepare you for work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, government agencies, and industries with a need to maintain hearing conservation programs for workers.
Prerequisite coursework
Many programs prefer, but do not require, that their applicants have coursework in speech and hearing sciences. Students interested in pursuing doctoral studies in audiology often choose undergraduate degrees in speech and hearing sciences, communication disorders, or natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics). Prerequisite coursework varies by school. Please check admission requirements for the schools of your choice.
