Admissions
The Audiology Faculty Council, comprised of faculty and staff of
each participating institution, will be charged with making
recommendations for admission to the home institution. The home
institution is defined as the university where the student
completes at least one third of the credits needed for the degree.
The home institution will be responsible for maintaining student
transcripts, providing advisement, as well as monitoring ASHA
certification and NYS licensing requirements. The home institution
will award the degree, noting that it was completed in conjunction
with the two other universities in the consortium. Applicants will
be able to request their home institution. In order to balance the
enrollment among the participating schools, the Council may assign
students to another campus.
A transcript and a 300 word essay describing why one wants to
pursue a doctoral degree is required of each student
applying. Students applying without a masters degree should
submit GRE scores. A portfolio review for post-Master’s level
applicants with considerable clinical experience will be
conducted by the Audiology Faculty Council. Following
recommendations by the Council, applicants may be exempt from
specific course work for which academic and clinical expertise has
been demonstrated. However, at least 30 credits of
post-masters course work must be completed in the program.
Advisement
Students’ progress through the program will be monitored through
academic advising, assessment of educational and clinical
performance, and periodic competency based evaluations administered
to students at regular intervals throughout the program.
En-Route M. A.
For students entering at the post-B.A. level, an en-route
M.A. degree will be awarded following completion of the current
academic and clinical requirements for state licensure. The
M.A. degree will be awarded by the student’s home institution.
Graduation
Students will receive a diploma from their home institution upon
successful completion of the Au.D. degree requirements. The diploma
will note that the degree was awarded in conjunction with the two
other universities in the consortium.
