Communication Sciences and Disorders
Admission Requirements
Students admitted to the program will be selected from applicants who have completed a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited college or university with a minimum of 3.0 cumulative GPA. GRE test scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical/writing) must be submitted at the time of application. Students may apply before their bachelor’s degree or prerequisites are completed, but must provide evidence of completion by the time they matriculate. All applicants who meet the prerequisites, regardless of undergraduate major, will be considered for admission. In appropriate circumstances, well-qualified students who lack a prerequisite might be accepted provisionally. All students must possess abilities in oral and written communication (English) sufficient for entry into professional practice.
