MATRICULATION REQUIREMENTS Three hours of coursework in Normal Language Development is required before taking Pediatric Audiology (AUD 7130). Students must demonstrate understanding of the speech and language difficulties associated with hearing impairment; therefore, the department recommends a course in speech and language of the hearing impaired. An overview course in speech and language is also recommended. ✔ TIP If a student did not complete these courses as an undergraduate, he or she can take them during the Au.D. course of study. However, the courses will require a separate registration and tuition. The Au.D. program has the responsibility to the public to assure that graduates will be fully competent audiologists—providing benefit and doing no harm. Individuals admitted and retained in the Au.D. program must possess the intelligence, in- tegrity, compassion, humanitarian concern, physical and emotional capacity, communica- tion skills, and professionalism necessary to practice audiology. To this end, all NSU Au.D. students must meet the requirements outlined in the Essential Functions of the Au.D. Student document upon admission and while matriculating through the program.
