Two types of doctoral degrees are available for study in audiology. The Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree is the professional degree for the practice of audiology. The course of study for the Au.D. centers on learning the skills necessary to practice audiology. The second type of doctoral degree is the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. The Ph.D. degree is a graduate research degree and suited for those who wish to do research or teach in the areas of audiology and hearing science. Of course, it is possible to obtain both of these degrees although a student should expect to study for at least 5-6 years.
