The Best Audiology Schools In The Us

Every year, the U.S

Every year, the U.S. News & World Report agency ranks the country's universities with the top-accredited programs in every field of study, from all levels of tertiary education. They have been constantly doing this and their methods of grading and judgin are reliable and trustworthy. As such, prospective students look to them to aid their decisions in the career they will take, as they provide a clear methodology to their rankings and they specify each institution's strong points.

For the 2012 rankings, the agency surveyed 78 Audiology schools, universities and institutions around the nation. These institutions had fully accredited programs by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and were in good standing during the survey period when each one was ranked, and this was during the fall of 2011. The rankings were based on the results of peer assessment surveys sent to deans, administrators and faculty programs in these universities and institutions with a Doctor of Audiology (AuD) degree. All schools surveyed were sent the same number of surveys and respondents were asked to rate the academic quality of the program on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). The response rate for the surveys for all schools, which became the basis of the rankings, reached 55 percent in total.

After much evaluation, the top universities with Audiology programs in the country, with their corresponging grades given by U.S. News & World Report, are as follow:

1.) Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN with a grade of 4.5
