Audiology

Originally established in 2000 as the Pennsylvania School of Audiology, it was renamed in 2008 the George S. Osborne College of Audiology (OCA) in honor of the school’s founding dean. The College’s mission is to lead in innovative education, research and service in training students for the practice of Audiological Medicine. It offers a competitive four-year residential program; a distance education and international degree program for working audiologists; and a Master of Science program for international audiologists who hold a bachelor’s degree in Audiology or a related science.
