Course of study
Students should plan their entire program in consultation with a faculty advisor prior to their first semester.
To be accepted into the graduate program, students must have earned a bachelor's degree in the field of speech language pathology or communication disorders or have met the undergraduate prerequisites.
The Postbaccalaureate Program, a specialized one-year course sequence, allows a student with a bachelor's degree in another field to prepare for entry to the master's degree program in Speech and Hearing Sciences.
