Can I be admitted to the MA or Ph.D. program without an undergraduate degree in communication sciences and disorders?
Quite a few students who do not have a background in communication sciences and disorders are admitted to the MA program each year. For students entering the MA program without a background in communication sciences and disorders, there are a number of prerequisite courses that must be taken before progressing into the advanced course offerings and clinical work for the Master’s degree. This generally lengthens the student’s time spent in the MA program by approximately one academic year. Although most students entering the Ph.D. program have an undergraduate and/or graduate degree in Speech and Language Pathology/Sciences, students with backgrounds in psychology, linguistics, engineering, etc. are also admitted.
