Doctor of Audiology
Accreditation
The Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) is a new degree program that replaces the master's program in audiology. The master's program was an accredited program approved by the American Speech/Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) for over 30 years. ASHA and the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) are currently reviewing this new doctoral program for accreditation. See online catalog or departmental website (http://www.isu.edu/csed) for current accreditation status.
Admission Requirements to the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) Program
For admission to the Au.D. degree program in audiology, an applicant is expected to:
1. Have completed a bachelor's degree in communication sciences and disorders (or equivalent) from a college or university accredited in the United States, or its equivalent from a school in another country.
2. Have obtained a 3.0 GPA on a 4.00 scale for upper-division course work taken during the last two years of undergraduate work.
3. Have submitted at least two scores equal to or better than the 40th percentile on any of the three general sections of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
4. Provide three letters of recommendation from those who can speak to the applicant's academic qualifications to pursue graduate studies.
International Students
Students whose native language is not English must achieve at least the 50th percentile on the Verbal section of the GRE, and a total score of 600 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Once admitted, non-native English-speaking students must also receive a passing score on a test of spoken English to participate in clinic.
Program Capacity
A total of 24 students are admitted to the program. The number of seats available for new admissions will vary. Classes begin in the Fall Semester of each year. Meeting entry-level requirements for admission does not guarantee a seat in the program.
Curriculum
The curriculum is four years in duration, and includes one year (fourth year) of full-time clinical practicum. There are eight regular (fall and spring) semesters and three summer semesters. For the third year, students will be required to relocate to the ISU Boise campus to continue their academic and clinical instruction in a robust audiology community. Students will assume the financial, housing, and logistical responsibilities of the relocation.

Department Mission Statement
The principle mission of the Department of Counseling is to prepare quality counselors for various settings in Idaho and the nation. More specifically, we seek to prepare quality School Counselors for public schools in K-12 settings, Mental Health Counselors for community agencies and other mental health settings, Marital, Couple, and Family Counselors for agency and community settings, and Student Affairs Counselors for working in college settings such as advising, residence halls, and career centers. In addition, we prepare doctoral level counselor educators.
In addition to specific job settings, the faculty believe that is is also our mission to instill a strong sense of professional identity, appreciation for our rich knowledge base, develop expertise in the skills of counseling with our students. We also aid them in becoming certified and/or licensed, and in their initial job placement.
The Department of Counseling also has a mission within the Kasiska College of Health Professions which is to represent the mental health perspective within KCHP and to consult with CKHP faculty and departments in encouraging a holistic perspective for health care services.

Doctoral Degree Retention and
Dismissal Policy
Department of Counseling faculty are confident that each student admitted has the potential to be successful in graduate study. To assure success, the student's major professor plays an important role in giving feedback to the student.
On occasion a faculty member may consult with other Department of Counseling faculty as to apparent impediments to progress of an individual student. If others have made similar observations, the major professor or other faculty will initiate a meeting with the student to discuss the perceived difficulty. Remedies and expected behavior changes will be discussed and outlined in verbal and/or written form.
If after feedback, a student's impediments to progress are not remedied, the faculty may recommend dismissal from the program.

Adjunct Faculty: Hiller, Nielsen
The Department of Dental Science administers the Idaho Dental Education Program (IDEP) for predoctoral dental students, and the Idaho Advanced General Dentistry Residency (IAGD) as a postdoctoral program.
The Idaho Dental Education Program is designed to provide residents of Idaho with access to a high quality dental education as if Idaho had its own dental school. The IDEP program is fully accredited as a Satellite Program of Creighton University School of Dentistry by the American Dental Association. The program involves a first year curriculum at Idaho State University in Pocatello, followed by completion of the second through fourth years at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. Students completing the four year program receive the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree and are eligible to take the licensure examinations necessary to become a practicing dentist. Students may also elect to pursue advanced training through residencies or specialty programs, eventually becoming board certified in one of the recognized dental specialties.
There are eight positions available for Idaho residents. Applicants to the program just have completed the necessary prerequisites in English, Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and other requirements as outlined in the Department of Dental Science Bulletin. In addition to fulfilling the minimal prerequisites, most students accepted into the program will have a bachelor's degree at the time of entry into IDEP. Occasionally, some exceptional students who have completed the junior level (upper division) of college course work are admitted into the program.
Students are encouraged to work closely with their pre-dental academic advisor in making course selections which fulfill dental school and degree completion requirements.
Formal application for admission to the IDEP program follows the guidelines printed in the Department of Dental Science Bulletin and the Creighton University School of Dentistry Bulletin. The application process involves: taking the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT), completion of the American Dental Education Association Application Service centralized application, the Creighton Supplemental Application and the IDEP Residency Certification Form. Although the application process can be completed as late as January 1 of the year the student plans to enter the program, earlier application is strongly encouraged to allow adequate time for completion of admission requirements and consideration by the admission committee.

Public health has as a basic goal to improve the health of populations through planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion and disease prevention programs. Public health professionals design these intervention programs by using a combination of health education and related organizational, economic, legislative, and environmental supports to enhance the probability of creating a healthier populace.
The Master of Public Health Program curriculum prepares individuals to carry out the following core public health functions as defined by the American Public Health Association: assess both the health needs and the resources available in a community, assist in health policy development that supports programs in prevention, and assure that necessary, high quality, effective services including education are available to every citizen.
To meet this challenge, the MPH degree at Idaho State University is designed to meet the needs of two types of students: 1) those practicing health professionals who desire to augment their previous preparation so they may better implement health promotion strategies in their current work setting or community, and 2) those professionals who wish to train for careers in public health.
Core courses focus on the acquisition of requisite public health knowledge and skills in the disciplines of epidemiology, biostatistics, health care ethics, health planning and evaluation, health marketing, research methods, and environmental health. Elective courses allow the student to focus additional coursework in her/his chosen area of interest.Admission
For classified admission into the program, applicants must satisfy the following criteria:
1. Meet all requirements of the Graduate School.
2. Submit all previous college transcripts and have an accumulative undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 in upper division courses. Applicants who currently hold a graduate degree must submit their transcripts, but the undergraduate GPA requirements will not apply.
3. Score an average of at least the 35th percentile on both the quantitative and verbal sections of the GRE general test, but no lower than the 20th percentile in either section. Because of the mathematical nature of the degree, students who score lower than the 30th percentile on the quantitative section of the GRE must show evidence of having successfully completed (with a "C" or better) a college algebra course before being considered for admission (this requirement cannot be waived). Students who are admitted to Conditional status without GRE scores must take the general test within their first semester of enrollment. Students may be admitted to Conditional status without GRE scores. See Admission Requirements in the General Information section of this catalog.

Students in the MPH in Health Administration must meet all the Admission criteria as students in the traditional MPH. However, these additional admission and retention criteria apply:
GRE scores, or GMAT test in lieu of GRE scores, will be considered for admission. Applicants must submit documentation showing at least two years of full-time work experience.
Students must maintain a graduate GPA of 3.0. A grade of C+ or lower is essentially a failing grade at the graduate level. However, a student may petition the program to accept a grade of C+ in one course, as long as the minimum graduate GPA of 3.0 is maintained.
Students will be allowed to repeat one course with an earned grade of C+ or lower. However, the course or the equivalent, must be repeated in a later cohort sequence.
Upon admission to the MPH in Health Administration (MPH in HA) degree program, students will be assigned an academic advisor; this advisor can be changed later upon request of the student. However, academic advisors must be HCA or MPH faculty and must hold graduate faculty appointment in the ISU Graduate School.
Written documentation and an oral defense of the Master's Project is a significant aspect of the student's Master's degree program. Each student will form a three member committee, consisting of her or his academic advisor, a member of the MPH in HA faculty, and a Graduate Faculty Representative (GFR). The MPH in HA faculty will supervise the student's progress, evaluate the project's written documentation, and with the GFR, conduct the oral examination.
