The Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) is the new entry-level degree for a professional audiologist. The Au.D. program is designed to produce audiologists who are skilled in providing diagnostic, rehabilitative, and other services associated with hearing, balance, and related audiological fields. There is an emphasis on the clinical learning experience.

This change is consistent with other health care professions which require doctoral degrees to practice in their respective professions such as: Doctor of Osteopath (DO), Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Dentistry (DMD or DDS), Doctor of Optometry (OD), Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD).

The Au.D. is a post-bachelor's degree program. The degree is can typically be completed in 4-years if the student has a background in Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology/Communication Sciences and Disorders. Students without a background will generally have to complete a second-bachelor's program although some schools are beginning to introduce a 5-year program for students without a background in the field.
