Dual Degree Program in CSD

Effective Fall, 2006 and revised in 2011, the department is approved to offer a combined undergraduate/graduate dual degree program in CSD for freshmen students as part of an ongoing effort to recruit and retain highly motivated and scholarly students who have the potential to become effective and compassionate speech-language pathologists. The program accelerates movement through the bachelor’s degree by one semester.

Students who are accepted into this program will take all of the CSD classes that are required in the traditional program, will meet all liberal arts core requirements, and will meet all teacher certification requirements. The total undergraduate credits equal 117. The graduate portion is 56 credits. The undergraduate portion of this program may be completed in 3.5 years (excluding summers); the graduate portion is typically completed in 5 to 6 additional semesters (including summers).

Applications to the dual degree program will be reviewed by the CSD admissions committee (which also reviews graduate applications). Students should meet the following academic profile: 1200 combined SAT score, high school average of 92 in English and Science, a strong letter of recommendation, and an on-campus interview.
