Applying for the Au.D. Program
Prerequisite requirements for admission to the Au.D. program include coursework in behavioral and social sciences, mathematics, natural science, human communication, language acquisition, phonetics, acoustics and/or speech science, and an introductory course in human communication disorders*. Most students have also completed additional introductory coursework in speech-language pathology and audiology.
Admission is based on academic performance, GRE scores, recommendations, and a personal essay.

Within CSDCAS, applicants will be required to pay an application fee and submit:
