Speech-Language Pathology (MS)
Admissions
Admission decisions are based on faculty review of undergraduate transcripts, the cumulative undergraduate (or graduate if degree conferred) GPA from a degree-bearing university, personal statements, a resume, and three letters of recommendation. Students who earned their primary undergraduate degree with a major in CSD are admitted in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Leveling students who do not have an undergraduate degree with a major in CSD are admitted in the fall semester.
