Hi guys! I am an undergraduate junior about to graduate this upcoming Fall... & may be applying for Audiology programs. For those in AUD programs, how did you get funding for the programs you were accepted into? If you went out of state, was it a lot of fund? Also, what are some AUD programs that offer substantial funding for Audiologists? Thanks!

Thanks guys for your input! As of now, Audiology may be it, but we will see. Best of luck in the career field as slps/auds!

Thanks! I'm just undecided and don't know what I want to do as of right now.

Hey guys! I don't know why i'm on here but I decided to gather opinions. I am currently a junior majoring in Communicative Disorders. I am on track to graduate a semester early (which is Fall 19), and so I want to apply for a graduate program for Fall 2020. I am unsure if I want to do SLP or AUD b/c there are pros/cons for both careers. I will list them below: Pros/Cons: for SLP: I want to work in hospitals in pediatrics, but there aren't many opportunities for SLPs in that setting, from my understanding. I DO NOT want to be in the school system, and i'm afraid I will end up doing that if I decide to go the SLP route. Pros/Cons for AUD: I like AUD, and I still want to work with Pediatrics, but I'm nervous about the job outlook/pay for AUDs (especially with paying for doctoral school). I also feel like AUD is being good with a lot of technology, which i'm okay with, but i'm just unsure. I will be getting hands on experience this summer, so maybe that'll answer my questions? Has anyone majoring in CD went a completely different route outside of SLP/AUD? I don't regret being in my major, i'm just wondering if there are other opportunities outside of SLP/AUD?
