Doctor of Audiology

While all accredited doctoral audiology programs prepare you to practice as a licensed Audiologist, a select few push you further. Stretch your skills past the norm. And help you graduate with a deeper perspective than the average practitioner. The NSU Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) is one of those programs. NSU’s Au.D. program prepares students to enter the profession ready to practice. In addition to our traditional foundation audiology curriculum, we offer specific coursework in genetics, pediatrics, biochemistry and pharmacology, practice management, geriatrics, tinnitus, vestibular science, and auditory processing. Audiology is not only personally gratifying — it’s also considered one of the least stressful worklife career choices in health care. With 16% forecasted growth through 2028, according to the latest federal labor law experts, you also enjoy financial stability and continued professional demand.

Specific pre-requisite coursework is not required. In-progress bachelor's degree or conferred bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university/college is required. Applicants are evaluated based upon undergraduate cumulative GPA, application essay, letters of recommendation, and invited interview. Undergraduate preferred GPA is 3.2 or higher. An undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is not required by our program. Students who enter with a degree other than CSD must take an additional course in the program. Three letters of recommendation; a written application; and official transcripts from all previously attended undergraduate, graduate and professional institutions are required. Each application is reviewed by the admissions committee and invitation for a personal interview is extended to qualified applicants. Students are encouraged to observe audiologists at work to become familiar with the profession before applying. Internet based (iBT) = 79, Computerized score = 213, Paper score = 550.
