Admission Requirements to the Upper-Division Major
Students are admitted into this major for the summer or fall term; however, the sequence of major courses begins in the fall. Admission to the University does not ensure admission to the School, nor does attainment of the minimum grade point average, as this is a limited access/limited enrollment program. Formal application to the department is required of all entering majors. Please visit the department website, regarding the application process and deadlines. Minimum requirements for review of application include an overall GPA of 3.0 on all college work attempted; successful applicants often have much higher GPAs. Students must have a minimum of 52 hours (acceptable to FSU), all of the statewide CORE coursework, FSU General Education coursework and ASHA standards IVA requirements completed by the end of the term in which they apply.

Major Program (Undergraduate) of Studies at FSU: 42 hours
To qualify for graduation from the major, all undergraduates in Communication Science and Disorders must earn a grade of ”C minus”or better for each required major course. Students are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA in major coursework.

Graduate Program: 60+ hours
A master’s degree or clinical doctorate is required to qualify to be certified and licensed in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, respectively. Students are therefore encouraged to continue their studies. However, completion of the baccalaureate degree does not guarantee admission into a graduate program. Consult an advisor for details of program requirements or see the information about the School’s Speech-Language Pathology master’s programs at .

Minor/Certification
A minor is not required. Although it is not a requirement of the major, students may elect to pursue teacher certification in the area of Speech-Language Impaired. This may be accomplished at the graduate level by being formally admitted to Teacher Education through the Office of Student Services, Room 2301 Stone Building. This procedure is administered by the Dean of the College of Education and is distinct from admission to the School of Communication Science and Disorders. Teacher certification in the area of Speech-Language Impaired requires completion of a master’s degree in Communication Science and Disorders. Students may also apply directly to the State Department of Education for teacher certification in the area of Speech-Language Impaired if they have completed the required teacher education course work and have completed the master’s degree.

Additionally, the School offers a certificate in Developmental Disabilities; please see for more information.

Language requirement: 0-12 hours
Students formally admitted into the Communication Science and Disorders major must achieve proficiency in a language other than English prior to graduation. Students may fulfill this requirement either by demonstrating proficiency at the intermediate (2000) level in a modern or classical language or at the advanced level in American Sign Language (ASL 2160C). Students may satisfy this requirement either by proficiency testing or by taking coursework. All courses taken to meet this requirement must be taken for a letter grade; S-U grading will not be accepted. Contact the department for details.

Computer Skills Competency: 3 hours. CGS 2060 (3) or CGS 2100 (3).

Oral Communication Competency: 0-3 hours
Students must demonstrate the ability to orally transmit ideas and information clearly. This requirement may be met with an approved college-level course.
