Prospective Doctor

Audiology students are
selected
by
an
admissions
committee. Selection
is based
on
preprofessional academic performance,
written application, letters of recommendation, Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) score,
and
a
personal interview.
The
admissions committee reviews all completed applications, and
invitations
are extended
for
a
personal interview to the highest-ranking
students.
Preference will be given to
students
with a
cumulative
undergraduate grade point average
(GPA) of 3.2 or
higher.
In
terviews
are held on
campus,
providing applicants
w
ith
an opportunity to
meet
faculty
members and current
students and
to
visit
the
campus
and audiology facilities.
The Audiology Department requires applicants to have
completed
a
bachelor's degree from
a
regionally accredited
college
or university.
MATRICULATION REQUIREMENTS
Three hours
of
coursework
in
Normal Language Development is
required before taking Pediatric
Audio
l
ogy (AUD 7130). Students
must
demonstrate understanding of the
speech
and language difficulties
associated with hearing impairment; therefore, the department
recommends
a course
in speech
and
language of
the
hearing
impai
r
ed
.
An
overview course
in
speec
h
and
language
is also
recommended.
If
a student
did not complete
these courses
as an
undergraduate, he or
she can take them
during the
Au.D. course
of
study.
However, the courses will
require
a separate registration
and
tuit
i
on.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE
DOCTOR OF AUDIOLOGY STUDENT
The Au.D. program has the responsibility to the public to
assure
that
graduates will
be fully
competent audiologists-
providing benefit
and
doing no harm.
Individu

admitted
and re
tained in
the Au.D.
program
must
possess the
int
elligence, integrity, compassion,
humanitarian concern, physical
and emotional capacity,
communication ski
ll
s, and
professionalism necessary
to
practice
audiology. To this
end,
all
NSU
Doctor of Audiology
students
must
meet the requirements
out
li
ned
in
the Essential Functions of the
Au.D. Student
document upon admission
and while
matriculating
through the program.
