Au.D. Applicant Requirements

Our application process is online at the Graduate school web site. Paper applications are no longer available.

The required grade point average is 3.0 or the equivalent of a B on your undergraduate or post graduate course work.  Official reports of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores from tests taken within five years of the date of planned entry into a program are required of all applicants. 

International students whose native language is not English must submit the following:

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), An official report of at least 620 (260 computer based)
TSE (Test of Spoken English), a score of 50 or above
TWE (Test of Written English), a score of 5 or above

ALL documents must be received by January 15th.  All documents go directly to the SLHS Department. 

Prerequisite Program

Applicants with a bachelor's degree are accepted as a prerequisite applicant and reviewed the same way as applicant's with a bachelor's degree in Communication disorders or Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. The list of prerequisite courses are available here. A prerequisite program will take approximately one more year to complete than the regular four year Au.D. program.
