Introduction

The goal of the BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders program is to prepare students to pursue graduate study in communication disorders (speech-language pathology or audiology). This pre-professional undergraduate program lays the foundation for future graduate study and covers communication processes such as normal language development, speech sound development, anatomy, physiology, and audiology.   

Admission Requirements

Students admitted to the university may enroll with the intent of pursuing the BS Communication Sciences and Disorders degree. 

Other Departmental Requirements

  • Minimum overall GPA of 3.0, and a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the CSD major;
  • “C” or better in all major courses;
  • “C” or better in all ASHA required courses (biological science, physical science, social/behavioral science, statistics).

Any exemptions or modifications to the above requirements due to special circumstances must be requested through the chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. All requests will be reviewed and must be approved by the faculty.

The coursework is sequenced in a manner determined by the faculty to best prepare students for future courses. As such, it is required that these courses be taken in the designated sequence. In the event of an extenuating circumstance, a course may be taken out of sequence with faculty approval.
