Graduate Programs Admissions Information

The primary qualification for admission is evidence of a strong potential for academic, clinical, and research growth. Such evidence is obtained from official transcripts, letters of recommendation, GRE scores, and a personal statement of academic, research, and vocational interests.

If you have read the specific requirements for communication sciences and disorders, then you may formally apply to the Graduate School.
