The Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences at WashU Medicine provides exceptional training for the next generation of audiologists, teachers of the deaf and hearing science researchers.
Graduate programs
- Doctor of Audiology (AuD): prepares students to work as clinical audiologists
- Master of Science in Deaf Education (MSDE): prepares students as teachers of deaf or hard of hearing children
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD): prepares students for academic and research careers in speech and hearing sciences
Undergraduate minor
The Minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences provides an overview of the fields of hearing, deafness, language and speech.

Each student will have their own journey within their cohort. While all students are taking the same classes, PACS fosters each student’s interests and creates opportunities to grow outside the normal curriculum. That may be a volunteer opportunity, assisting with a research project, or completing a practicum rotation in their hometown.
