ProQuest LLC, Au.D. Dissertation, California State University, Los Angeles
Introduction: As of 2007, State legislation requires newly licensed audiologists to have graduated from an accredited doctorate program. State definitions of "accredited institution" vary and are not always clear. This compilation of state legislation serves graduate students to identify if their state board approves their current program, prospective students looking to apply to graduate school elect programs approved by their given state, and licensed audiologists looking to move across states. This paper intends to compile audiology licensure laws to determine the requirements to obtain licensure in each state. Results: ACAE, CAA, and USDE are accrediting bodies across the U.S.; however, all are not equally accepted across each state. Only twenty-eight states clearly define their approved accrediting bodies. Fifty-two percent recognize ASHA or CAA, sixty-two percent recognize USDE or CHEA, and thirty percent recognize AAA or ACAE in their legislature. Conclusion: ASLP interstate compacts aims to bridge the continuity and fluidity of licensed audiologist across the states. Many states have not updated their license laws to define their approved accredited entities clearly. State laws and their requirements for licensure should be reviewed before entering a doctorate program. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
