On-Campus SLP Degree & Admission Details

You may indicate either a summer or fall starting semester in the ApplyTexas application. Within the CSDCAS application, there is an option for you to select your preferred starting semester. As students are accepted, we allow them to select their starting semester unless there are no longer spots available for that cohort. At the time of acceptance, we can change the starting semester in the system if needed.

Admission Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in communication sciences or a bachelor's degree out of field with completion of pre-master’s leveling courses at TWU or another university. Applications may be submitted before these are completed as long as the degree or required leveling courses will be completed before graduate coursework begins.
• Completion of college-level coursework in the four areas in compliance with ASHA’s Standard IV-A. No communication sciences courses can count toward this requirement. TWU follows ASHA’s guideline for meeting this standard. For more information on classes that count toward this requirement, see ASHA’s Course Content Guide.
  
  • Statistics (can be math statistics, psychology statistics, business statistics, etc.)
  • Biological science (biology, human anatomy, microbiology, etc.)
  • Physics or chemistry (must be chemistry or physics, not a physical science course)
  • Social or behavioral science (psychology, sociology, anthropology, public health, etc.)
• A minimum 3.0 GPA for the last 60 hours of college coursework (The average GPA of incoming students in our program is 3.76.)
• Complete the program application on the Communication Sciences and Disorders Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS) website before the deadline. 

• •  A second set of official transcripts from every college or university attended must be submitted to CSDCAS. If currently enrolled in classes, final Fall grades are NOT required to be posted on official transcripts.

Begin by finding your program in TWU's Program, Majors & Degrees listings to see if your program has additional admission requirements and application deadlines prior to applying.  (This information is for all programs. The application deadline for your specific program will be listed in the Program Requirements.  Use that deadline as it applies below.  (Example: if a program only admits once a year and has a Fall deadline for 2023 of March 1, you would need to be looking to apply to the next deadline for Fall 2024.)
