Speech-Language Pathology - Admissions Requirements

*This program requires that your application be complete by March 1, 2009 To be considered for admission into the program, a student must present:
1.	Official transcript as evidence of completing a baccalaureate degree in Speech-Language-Hearing Science or the equivalent from an accredited institution of higher education
2.	Official scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) taken within the past five years.
3.	Two letters of reference. At least one reference must be an academic reference.
4.	An essay regarding career plans and qualifications
5.	A resume including pertinent educational and work experience

In order for students to meet 2005 ASHA certification standards (see http://professional.asha.org/certification/slp_standards_new.cfm ), La Salle University's Speech-Language-Hearing Science Program includes prerequisites to graduate study. The chair of the admissions committee evaluates graduate applications to determine whether the applicant has met all prerequisites. Students who have not met these requirements (equivalent course title and description) are required to meet them prior to applying to the MS program. In certain situations, students may complete the necessary prerequisites simultaneously with graduate study. Students must fulfill prerequisite requirements prior to obtaining the master's degree.

The Admissions Committee considers each applicant's accomplishments, experiences and personal qualities as reflected in his/her personal statement, letters of recommendation, and resume. Special consideration may be made on the basis of having successfully completed substantial graduate coursework in a related discipline, or noteworthy contributions to the field. A personal interview may be required. We invite applications from all students with a strong commitment to excellence in caring for those with communication disorders.
