Overview

With this Communication Sciences and Disorders program, you'll learn to prevent, identify, and treat communication disorders and help people on a holistic basis. Communication disorders generally do not occur in isolation, they can be related to other problems as well. Social, emotional, educational, and vocational difficulties may stem from or be aggravated by communication disorders.

To work as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist, you are required to meet each state's professional qualifications. This requires a graduate degree at the masters or doctoral level. At CMU we carefully tailor your study of communication disorders at the undergraduate level to lead seamlessly into graduate level studies.

Careers & Outcomes

With this degree from Central Michigan University, you can choose a profession such as speech-language pathologist or audiologist. You'll work primarily in educational settings, medical and health facilities, and private practice.

General requirements

We take several things into consideration when evaluating applications for admission, including GPA, test scores (optional) and academic improvement over time.

As part of the online application, you’ll need to pay a $40 application fee. If your family is experiencing financial hardship, speak to your high school guidance counselor to see whether you qualify for a fee waiver.

You may submit an unofficial transcript with your application, or ask your school counselor to submit your official transcript. We can provide an admission decision and merit scholarship with either one. Keep us updated with new transcripts at the end of each semester. It may mean an upgrade in your scholarship.

You don’t have to submit a test score in order to be admitted and earn a merit award.
