In-state tuition for audiology at private colleges is, on average, 3.8 times more pricey than their public counterparts.

Based on our list on the best colleges, our choice for the best college for audiology is New York University.

On that note, our pick for the school with the best value for audiology: George Washington University. On this page you will see our comprehensive list on the universities we believe to be the best value&nbspin general. Bear in mind, this list is based on out-of-state tuition costs. The value proposition changes when it comes to in-state tuition, but as we do not know what state(s) you might qualify for in-state tuition, we are approaching this discussion through out-of-state tuition costs.

Earnings for audiology majors can cover a wide range, but two years after leaving college graduates will regularly earn in the neighborhood of $60,800. While there is much variation in earnings; top earners can rake in up to $94,800. Even right out of college, the lowest earning jobs within the audiology field make $39,100, which could be worse. The top earning graduates for audiology attended George Washington University&nbspand if you want to find the schools with all of the highest earning graduates, Authority has that too.
