Program Outcomes
This program allows students with undergraduate degrees in areas other than communication science and disorders (CSD) to enroll as a non-degree student in the department while students complete the necessary prerequisite courses for most CSD graduate programs. The prerequisite courses can be completed in one year (a fall-spring sequence) or spread out over two or more years.
