Some students requesting entry into our
clinical program at the graduate level have an undergraduate
major that is not in speech-language pathology. We welcome
applications from such students because we feel they
bring with them valuable knowledge and experience that
can be directly applied to their education in the profession
of speech-language pathology and audiology. Prerequisite
students are expected to take specific prerequisite
courses before enrolling in some graduate level courses
in our department. If the student has no previous courses
in speech-language pathology and audiology, then it
will be necessary to take courses, in such areas as
anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanism,
phonetics, language development, and speech and hearing
science, that are prerequisites
to other courses that the student will take later. These
courses will be incorporated into the students program.
On the other hand, some students may decide to take
some or all of the prerequisite courses either at Purdue
University or elsewhere before applying for graduate
admission at Purdue. However, it is not necessary to
do so. When admitted as a prerequiste student your program
will take approximately one year longer.
