Graduate Leveling Course Curriculum
Continue to main contentStudents who have already earned a bachelor's degree in a major other than communication disorders can participate in the Graduate Leveling Program to ensure that they are well-prepared for the rigor of a graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. Leveling students can choose whether to complete their courses in-person or asynchronously online.
Students should meet with a department advisor to develop a personalized leveling program. Additional pre-requisite courses may be required for pursuing graduate school if the student has not yet completed coursework in statistics, physical/chemical science, biological science, or social science/psychology.
