All Au.D. students complete a capstone research project during their second and third years of study. This project may involve an in-depth literature review, a limited-scope clinical investigation, a case study, or a large-scale clinical project. At the end of the third year, students present their projects at our annual capstone presentation day. See the capstone timelines for further information.
In addition, students who are interested in research beyond the capstone project, should contact faculty members for more information about possible opportunities in their labs.

Rooted in the Wisconsin Idea, the UW–Madison Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders believes that education should extend beyond the classroom to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Guided by best practices in inclusive excellence, our students and faculty engage in outreach that supports individuals, families, professional colleagues, and communities across Wisconsin and beyond. Service and outreach are central to our mission. Our projects reflect the shared values and passions of our faculty and students.
