Admission Requirements and Procedures |
Students are accepted for the fall semester only. All applicants to the master’s degree program in communication disorders must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Students applying provisionally to the M.S. degree program in Communication Disorders who have not received undergraduate training in communication disorders are required first to complete a minimum of 18 credits in undergraduate prerequisite courses or their equivalent (see below), as approved by the department. Students may not apply more than two times for admission to the master’s program in communication disorders. All master’s degree students accepted provisionally pending completion of undergraduate prerequisite courses must complete their outstanding courses at Adelphi, and receive no more than one C grade (C+, C, C–) in order to matriculate. Prerequisite courses are typically offered at least twice a year on the Garden City campus. Students may take prerequisite courses at other institutions with prior approval of their academic adviser. Upon completion of prerequisite courses, students are to meet with their adviser to complete a form for official matriculation into the master’s program.
Note: The department strongly advises non-undergraduate majors to take as many prerequisites as possible before applying for graduate school admission. We require a minimum of 3–4 graded courses.
