A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.

A minimum and prerequisite GPA of 3.0 (based on 4.0) is required. However, a GPA of 3.5 or higher is strongly recommended.

Applicants with a CSD (or similar) major for the baccalaureate degree will meet all prerequisite curriculum requirements. A grade below C- in a CSD major course is not acceptable and should be repeated.

Applicants that do not have a CSD (or similar major) should have a minimum of one 3-credit course in each of the following topic areas:

Anatomy and Physiology of Speech and Hearing
Language Development
Speech and Hearing Science
Transcription Phonetics
Linguistics
Submit a minimum of three letters of recommendation. We strongly suggest that two of the recommendations be from college-level instructors in your major with whom you took a course. CSDCAS will only accept electronic letters of recommendation.
Submit GRE scores to institutional code – 6130. GRE scores are only accepted with this code.
Submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended.
​International students should send their academic credential evaluations to CSDCAS.
Non-native English speaking applicants must provide TOEFL or IELTS scores from within the past 12 months (of the date of the application).
