The Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences Department, in cooperation with Adelphi and St. John’s Universities, offers a professional doctorate in audiology (AuD). This is a four-year, post-baccalaureate program with an integrated curriculum across the three institutions. The primary objective of the program is to produce highly skilled practitioners who are competent to perform a wide variety of diagnostic, remedial, and other critical services within the scope of practice for audiologists. The Doctor of Audiology (AuD) education program in audiology at the Long Island Consortium of Adelphi, Hofstra, and St. John’s Universities is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), 2200 Research Boulevard #310, Rockville, MD 20850, 800-498-2071 or 301-296-5700.
