Accreditation
The Doctor of Audiology (AuD) education program in audiology (residential) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), 2200 Research Blvd. #310, Rockville, MD 20850, (800) 498-2071 or (301) 296-5700.
Professional Licensure Disclosure
The CAA of ASHA is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an accrediting agency for clinical audiology training programs leading to the AuD degree.
Most state boards of licensure require that applicants graduate from a U.S. school accredited by the CAA as a condition for licensure. In addition, some state boards of licensure require that applicants hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in Audiology to obtain certification (for which Washington University graduates are eligible) and/or to take and pass the PRAXIS-Audiology examination. For a state-by-state listing of requirements, please visit this page on the ASHA website.
PACS has determined that, as a result of CAA accreditation, its AuD program curriculum meets the educational requirements to sit for the PRAXIS-Audiology examination, to pursue the CCC-A, and to pursue licensure in all states and territories of the United States and Washington, DC. (American Samoa, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau do not currently regulate the profession of audiology.)
