Students with a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than communication sciences and disorders must complete (or be in the process of completion) of prerequisite coursework to apply to the Â鶹ӰÊÓ Â鶹ӰÊÓ program in speech-language pathology. Students admitted to the Â鶹ӰÊÓ program must complete all prerequisite coursework prior to registering as a Â鶹ӰÊÓ student.
In addition to the following 29 credit hours of coursework, applicants to Â鶹ӰÊÓ programs in audiology or speech-language pathology are required to have at least one course in Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences (Chemistry or Physics), Social-Behavioral Sciences, and Statistics. Advance placement credit may be considered adequate to fulfill one or more of these requirements of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association if the course is reflected on the student’s university transcript.
