Courses

Advisement

Students’ progress through the program is monitored through academic advising, assessment of educational and clinical performance, and periodic competency based evaluations administered at regular intervals throughout the program.

Graduate Assistantships are available. Assistants have an opportunity to work in the department, the clinic, or with a faculty member. Tasks include supporting faculty research and managing Speech and Hearing Labs. Graduate assistants typically work 10 hours per week.

Scholarship and assistantship awards are applied toward tuition. Graduate Assistantship awards are based on an hourly scale.

Plan of Study

Each post-B.A. student admitted into the Long Island Au.D. Consortium will select a home school. Upon entry into the program, the student will be assigned an advisor and guided through a lock-step plan of study that will delineate specific courses for each year of the four year, 86-credit program. Courses will be offered at all three schools to take advantage of the shared resources and expertise.

Students must complete the academic and clinical requirements and pass two comprehensive exams to be awarded the Au.D., which is granted by the home institution in cooperation with Hofstra and Adelphi Universities.

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.

Career Outcomes

The program prepares students in four areas of audiology; foundations of practice, prevention in identification, evaluation, and treatment of hearing impairment. The program expects graduates to be clinicians and scholars with a strong understanding of the connection between the scientific basis of the discipline and its clinical practices, and an appreciation for research.

The goal of the consortium of Universities offering this program is to produce highly skilled practitioners with the ability to provide a wide variety of diagnostic, remedial and clinical services, maintaining sensitivity to cultural and linguistic diversity.

Professional licensure and certification requirements often vary from state to state. St. John’s University has not determined requirements for individual states beyond New York. If you reside or plan to reside outside New York you are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate state licensing agency in that state to seek information and guidance before beginning the program.
