Program Overview

Pacific’s Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program, offered on the San

Francisco campus by the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy

and Health Sciences, is a three-year, full-time, accelerated

program designed for individuals interested in entering the

fast-growing field of Audiology. The program aims to produce

graduates who are highly skilled healthcare practitioners in

The pass rate for the inaugural Doctor of Audiology class of

2018 on the Praxis Exam is 100 percent. The program has been

OUTCOMES

Graduates of the Doctor of Audiology

Program at University of the Pacific will

demonstrate Humanistic Leadership

while providing evidence-based care

through integrative clinic practice. This

is done via professional and ethical

competence and communication

between all healthcare providers for

each patient.

Pacific's AuD program in the second year consists of classes three days a week and clinical experience two days a week. I enjoy this balance of theory and practice because it allows students to exercise our knowledge immediately. Our program introduces students to Pacific's Hearing and Balance Center in downtown San Francisco from the beginning of the program. We are one of the select accelerated AuD programs in the country.
