Completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for admission to the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) program. Admission criteria are evaluated by the Audiology Faculty Council, composed of faculty and staff from each of the three universities.
Students apply through Adelphi University, regardless of the "home" institution they desire (Adelphi, Hofstra, or St. John’s Universities). The home institution is the university at which advisement, registration, and records are maintained for progression through the program and for purposes of American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certification and New York State licensure. The home institution is also the one that awards the degree, noting the cooperation of the other two schools. Students may request a home institution, but the Audiology Faculty Council reserves the right to assign students to another campus to balance enrollment among the participating universities.
- Students pursuing a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) must submit a transcript plus a 300-word essay describing why they are seeking a doctoral degree.
- Students must submit GRE scores.
- An interview is required of all applicants considered for admission to the program.
Advisement
Students' progress will be monitored throughout the program through a combination of academic advisement and assessment of educational and clinical performance. Competency-based evaluations will be administered to students at regular intervals.
En-Route Master's Degree
An en-route master's degree will be awarded following completion of the current academic and clinical requirements for state licensure. The master's degree will be awarded by the home institution.
Graduation
Upon successful completion of the Au.D. requirements, students will be awarded a diploma from their home institution. The diploma will reflect this unique program by making reference to the two other participating universities.
