Admissions Requirements
The Master's degree program includes two phases. Applications from students with undergraduate degrees in speech-language pathology will be submitted automatically to the Core phase of the program; applications from those with degrees in unrelated fields will be submitted automatically to the Preparatory phase of the program.
Please Note:
Current undergraduate students may enroll in Preparatory phase courses without applying to the program. These courses may be taken as electives. Completion of the courses does not guarantee admission into the Core phase of the program. Student must formally submit an application to the Graduate School and qualify for admission. Post baccalaureate students must be formally accepted to the preparatory phase.
The two phases share the following admission criteria and application process.
Application Deadline
The application deadline for the fall semester, is always the preceding February 1st.

Looking Ahead: Preparing for Certification

Both phases of the program use the same application form.
