Admission Standards

(Also see Graduate School Bulletin)

The following are the minimum criteria used by the Graduate School and the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology in processing admission applications. It is not unusual for many more qualified individuals to apply than can be admitted to the program; therefore, meeting these requirements does not guarantee that an applicant will be admitted to the program.

Full Admission

Students with a minimum GPA of 2.75 or above, or 3.00 or better for the last two years (64 semester hours or equivalent), and a 3.0 in-field GPA will be considered for the speech-language pathology program. Admission is competitive.

Applicants to the program must possess a bachelor's degree in speech-language pathology or complete a post-baccalaureate sequence of courses in speech-language pathology and audiology from an accredited university. Three letters of recommendation, a resume, statement of purpose, and GRE scores are required of all applicants. Applicants must also demonstrate competency in oral and written communication and language.

Average scores of students admitted to the Graduate Program in 2013 were:

• Overall GPA:  3.73
• In-Field GPA:  3.84
• GRE Verbal:  54th Percentile
• GRE Quantitative:  43rd Percentile
