Prior to the start of your AuD program, your advisor will provide you with your pre-admission checklist, detailing any deficiencies that you need to complete.
Deficiencies
General Undergrad Requirements: The following is a list of general undergraduate courses required for admission into the AuD program or completion prior to graduation with the AuD degree. For each course listed below, students must have earned a C or higher grade. Advanced Placement (taken at the high school level) for college credit can be used towards fulfilling the general requirements, only if the credit was granted by the University and appears on the student’s transcript. Similarly, placement exams from a university that places a student above college algebra suffice for the mathematics requirement. Science courses in audiology major curriculum may not be counted toward the general requirements.
- Statistics
- Life Sciences (ex. Human Anatomy, Physiology, Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology, Genetics)
- Chemistry or Physics
- Behavior and/or Social Sciences (ex. Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology)
- Mathematics (College Algebra or higher)
AuD Program Prerequisites:
The following is a list of recommended prerequisites for admission into the AuD program. We believe students who have these are best set up for academic success. Although these courses are recommended, they are not required, and we will consider students who have not completed these prerequisites for admission. If a student does not have any of the communication sciences and disorders courses listed below, then we might recommend that you complete these courses prior to applying or enrolling in our program.
- Anatomy & Physiology of the Speech & Hearing Mechanism
- Hearing Science
- Hearing & Balance I (Introduction to Audiology)
- Auditory Rehabilitation
- Research Methodology in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology
Graduate-Level Courses
Students must maintain a high level of achievement. Students with unsatisfactory progress may be terminated from their degree program or denied permission to continue studies at the University. The SLPA 897A and SLPA 897T courses are taken as P/NP. All other courses for the AUD, within or outside the major and including electives, are to be taken for an earned grade.
For SLPA 800-level courses with a 400-level counterpart (400/800 courses): a minimum grade of B is required. Any grade lower than a B may require remediation at the discretion of the instructor. Remediation may include requiring the student to retake all or part of the course. This may require the student to re-enroll and pay for the course a second time.
For SLPA 800-only or 900-level courses: a minimum grade of B is required. Any grade lower than a B may require remediation at the discretion of the instructor. Remediation may include requiring the student to retake all or part of the course. This may require the student to re-enroll and pay for the course a second time. Courses listed on the MOC and POS must have a grade of B or better.
For 800-only or 900-level courses outside SLPA: a minimum grade of C is allowed; however, courses listed on the MOC and POS must have a grade of B or better.
