Admission Information for students who do not have a Speech and Hearing Science Undergraduate degree

Non-matriculated students are those graduate students that have been provisionally admitted with a Bachelors' Degree in something other than Communication Sciences and Disorders. Although an undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Science is not a prerequisite for admission into our graduate program, it is a preparatory program for the Au.D degree. Thus, those who enter our Au.D program from other professions are required to complete a series of prerequisite undergraduate classes.

NOTE: The CSD prerequisite requirements are mandated by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
