Admission Requirements<\/h2>\n

Applicants should follow the admissions process described in this catalog.<\/p>\n

The Department of Communication Disorders at Marshall University is participating in the central application system known as CSDCAS. Applicants will apply online using the CSDCAS application. To learn more about the CSDCAS application process, visit https:\/\/www.csdcas.org\/.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Completed applications along with all supporting materials, including official transcripts with courses and grades from the Fall 2026 semester, must be received and verified by the January 15 deadline to receive consideration for admission the following fall. Official transcripts\u00a0must be received and verified by CSDCAS by January 15 for consideration. In addition, applicants must also meet the requirements below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An undergraduate degree (or pending degree) in Communication Disorders from an accepted, accredited institution is required. Students with deficits in undergraduate coursework, or those wishing to pursue public school certification, may need to complete additional requirements. Applicants must submit their most recent transcript, including grades for the fall semester that precedes the application deadline. If an applicant will be taking Communication Disorders coursework after the date in which the transcript was submitted, they must complete the Academic Update within CSDCAS to provide this information.\u00a0 Students admitted to the graduate program will be required to submit final, official transcripts following completion of the undergraduate degree.<\/li>\n
  2. Applicants with an undergraduate degree in a field other than communication disorders are required to complete appropriate foundational\/leveling coursework prior to enrollment in the graduate program. Because prerequisite coursework varies across institutions, applicants will undergo a holistic review of prior coursework and academic preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
