Admission is granted one time per year. Full-time students will be accepted for summer admission and will begin a strict sequence of study in the summer. The admission deadline for the Summer cohort is February 1 each year. Applications must be verified by CSDCAS and received by Monmouth University by February 1 each year; verification typically takes one month.
Students who have a bachelor’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology/Communication Sciences and Disorders from an accredited institution may apply for admission. Students with a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than Speech-Language Pathology/Communication Sciences and Disorders may apply for admission after completing up to 18 credits of prerequisite course work. As is the case with most graduate programs in speech-language pathology, admission is highly competitive.
To be considered for admission, students must complete an application via CSDCAS and meet the following requirements:
- A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a minimum overall 3.0 GPA in Speech-Language Pathology/Communication Sciences and Disorders, OR in any other discipline, plus the completion of up to 18 credits of prerequisite course work in Speech-Language Pathology.
- The applicant must also demonstrate completion of stand-alone courses in the areas of statistics, biology, physics or chemistry, and social/behavioral sciences in order to meet Standard IV-A of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. It is required that students complete these courses prior to June 15 and their enrollment in the graduate program. The student must earn a “C” or better in this prerequisite coursework. For more information about this coursework visit asha.org.
- *Waived for Summer 2023 applicants GRE scores taken within the past five years (students who hold a master’s degree or higher from an accredited institution are not required to submit GRE scores).
- An essay as required through CSDCAS.
