OVERVIEW
Drexel University’s Osborne Audiology offers degree and non-degree programs via distance education. The purpose of our distance education programs is to offer practicing audiologists the opportunity to refine their knowledge and skills, stay abreast of developments in science and clinical practice, and expand their professional expertise. With courses taught by subject matter experts, the curricula are infused with the University’s core philosophy of combining advances in science and evidence-based practice to deliver audiological services of the highest quality. Our programs prepare audiologists to compete in today’s complex and dynamic healthcare environments.
The Master of Science in Clinical Audiology (MSCA) program is a two-year degree program for audiologists with a bachelor’s degree in Audiology (or equivalent) who have at least two years of relevant work experience. In addition to courses in general and diagnostic audiology, the program offers concentrations in Hearing Aid Technologies and Cochlear Implants. Students participate in online and hands-on workshops as well as 400 hours of supervised clinical training to solidify the application of knowledge acquired in the courses. The hands-on workshops, each ~4 days in duration, are typically held on Drexel University’s Elkins Park campus. Supervised clinical training occurs at locations accessible to the student.
Drexel University’s Osborne Audiology is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to grant the MSc degree to students who successfully complete all requirements of the MSCA program. The University is accredited by the Middle States Commission for Higher Education (MSCHE).
