Post-Baccalaureate Curriculum

A sequenced, two-semester curriculum of prerequisite coursework for students whose undergraduate degree is outside speech-language pathology, communicative disorders, or speech & hearing sciences.

The Program

Post-Baccalaureate Curriculum

The post-baccalaureate curriculum is designed for students who have completed an undergraduate degree that is not in speech language pathology, communicative disorders, or speech & hearing sciences and are interested in completing the prerequisites necessary to apply for a graduate degree program in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The post baccalaureate student will enroll in selected courses from the undergraduate curriculum. Successful completion of post-baccalaureate coursework in the area of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology does not guarantee automatic acceptance into the graduate program.

Post-baccalaureate students must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, or an earned Master’s Degree or higher degree from an accredited university to be enrolled in the post-baccalaureate curriculum.

The post-baccalaureate curriculum is designed to be completed in two (2) consecutive semesters, beginning in the Fall and culminating in the Spring. The curriculum is a sequenced curriculum, which means that the schedule of classes offered during the Fall semester are prerequisite classes for the classes offered during the Spring semester. All of the classes that are listed in the fall are required to be taken and passed with a letter grade of “C” or higher before the student can enroll in the Spring semester classes that are listed.
