Postbaccalaureate Program

Distance learning

Complete graduate school prerequisites online.

This online postbaccalaureate program is designed for individuals who have earned a bachelor’s degree in an area other than Communication Sciences and Disorders to complete the prerequisite courses (“leveling courses”) that are necessary to be considered for admission to a graduate program in audiology or speech-language pathology. Before you apply to this postbaccalaureate program, you first should verify which courses are required by the graduate programs you are applying to. You are welcome to take only the course you need to meet those program requirements. Please note that this postbaccalaureate program is not a degreed program; therefore, the students who complete it do not earn a diploma or certificate. Courses and associated grades from the program are recorded on an official academic transcript, however.

Due to space limitations, we are not able to offer classes to non-degree seeking students unless they have been admitted to the postbaccalaureate program.
