Doctor of Audiology/Master of Public Health Combined Degree (AuD/MPH)

The AuD/MPH combined degree program prepares students for clinical practice of audiology as well as public health science and theory. Within the MPH program, students can concentrate their study in one of five public health areas: Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Behavior and Health Education, Health Policy and Management, or Climate, Rural and Global Public Health. This combination of audiology and public health empowers the student to provide effective public health interventions in concert with their audiology practice, thus treating the individual and community. This program prepares students with a multidisciplinary perspective for work in public health agencies, audiology practice, healthcare organizations (public and private), government entities and private industry.

Prospective students interested in the AuD/MPH program must apply separately to the AuD program and the MPH program following their respective application processes. Existing AuD students may submit their CSDCAS application, an OAA application, three letters of recommendation (specific to applying to the MPH program), and a personal statement or letter of interest related to the MPH program (500 to 700 words) to the COPH Office of Student Affairs. Applicants must file a Declaration of Intent to Pursue a Combined Degree form with both colleges prior to starting their first semester in the MPH program.

Students in the AuD/MPH program will follow the degree program planner for their chosen MPH concentration: Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, Health Behavior and Health Education, Health Policy and Management, or Climate, Rural and Global Public Health.
