To participate in the post-baccalaureate program, students apply to the master of arts in the field of speech-language pathology and may be granted conditional admission to the master's program. In order to maintain conditional admission status, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and earn a minimum grade of B- in each course. No other grades, including I (Incomplete), W (Authorized Withdraw), or Z (Unauthorized Withdraw), are acceptable.
Credits earned in courses taken for the post-baccalaureate program count toward the master’s degree and grades earned in those courses are included in the student's cumulative GPA. Once the student successfully completes the required post-baccalaureate curriculum, they are guaranteed entry into the MA program. Applicants may be eligible to transfer prerequisite credits previously completed. Such cases will be reviewed on an individual basis during the admissions process.
In addition, all post-baccalaureate students perform 25 hours of clinical observation, as mandated by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), before beginning clinical practica.
