Qualification Requirements
An undergraduate degree in speech-language pathology and audiology (SLPA) or a degree in communications sciences and disorders (CSD) is not required for admission to the SLP program. If it is determined that you are missing any of the required courses needed to meet licensing requirements in some states and to be recognized as eligible for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP), you would be asked to complete the missing classes before graduating from the program.
Graduate students must demonstrate communication skills that will not interfere with clinical practice.
The Graduate School requires the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in order to be eligible to apply for a graduate program.
One official transcript from each college attended.
