Long Island Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) Consortium

The department of communication sciences and disorders, in cooperation with Hofstra and St. John’s Universities, offers a professional doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.). The primary objective of the program is to produce highly skilled practitioners who are competent to perform the wide variety of diagnostic, remedial, and other critical services within the scope of practice for audiologists.

The program is a four-year full-time course of academic and clinical training, in which students complete a minimum of 89 semester hours of post-baccalaureate study. The curriculum includes course work and clinical practicum experiences in all aspects of audiologic practice. In addition, a clinical research project proposal is required of each student.

Students attend classes on each campus but at least one-third of the credits needed to earn the Au.D. must be taken at the home university. The home institution is responsible for maintaining student transcripts, providing advisement, and for monitoring ASHA certification and New York State licensing requirements. The home institution will award the degree, noting that it was completed in conjunction with the two other universities in the consortium. 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, as needed.

Note: Tuition and fees for the Au.D. program are set at the highest prevailing rate among the member institutions regardless of the home institution.
