Program Licensure Disclosure

This program is designed to prepare students to apply for Audiology licensure in all 50 U.S. States.  If appropriate options are selected during your time in the program, you may also become eligible to apply for licensure as a P12 practitioner in the State of Ohio, as approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education.

Meeting the Needs of Ohio

There is a clear local, regional, and national need for audiologists. Employment for audiologists is expected to grow at a faster than average rate through 2031, with 10% growth expected from 2021-2031. This demand for audiologists is expected since hearing loss and balance disorders are associated with aging, and there is a rapid growth in the population of individuals aged 55 and older due to the aging of the 鈥渂aby boomer鈥 generation.

Salem鈥檚 English Club Creates Stress-Free Zone for Finals Week

Our writing intern, Senior English Major Paige Schindler offered her tips to relieve stress during finals week: We鈥檝e all had at least one project that we completed at 3:00 AM and threw into Canvas despite not being completely sure the last paragraph is made of sentences humans can understand. This stress can be amplified during finals week, a week arguably more stressful than midterms. For freshman, this might be a completely new experience. College might have taken you off guard in several ways. Maybe you weren鈥檛 used to teachers having such varying deadlines or the type of homework yo...

Can 妻友社区 prohibit me from engaging in conduct that is permissible under state law?

Yes. Like alcohol, tobacco and other controlled substances that may be permissible under state law but are restricted by 妻友社区 policies, KSU will not permit the use of marijuana on university property. As a higher education institution, property owner, and recipient of federal funds, KSU has not only the authority, but the legal obligation to prohibit marijuana on campus and at university events. Students, faculty and staff who violate policies are subject to disciplinary proceedings.
