Qualification Requirements
To be considered for unconditional admission to the graduate program in speech pathology, all applicants must have at least a 3.0 undergraduate GPA and a minimum score of 300 on the GRE. In certain cases, applicants with lower test scores may be considered for conditional admission. This means that the student must earn an average of B or better in the first 12 semester hours of work completed. If the 12 hours are completed in a term in which the total credits exceed 12, the evaluation is made on the basis of all graduate-level work completed at the end of that term of enrollment.
It is possible to complete our master's program without having earned a degree in Communicative Disorders. Some of our best students have had degrees in everything from English to Psychobiology.
If your undergraduate GPA is at least 3.0 and you have a minimum GRE of 300, you can apply for graduate school just like any other prospective student. Your program will start in the fall semester and will take an additional two semesters (7 total), with your first two semesters devoted to basic undergraduate courses in communicative disorders.
TOEFL : The minimum score for admission to a degree program or for non-degree admission is 79 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT).
International English Language Testing System (IELTS): The minimum score for admission to a degree program or for non-degree admission is 6.5.
TOEFL paper-based score of 550 and above
