Applicants must furnish three letters of recommendation (preferably from three former professors) regarding the applicant's academic and intellectual abilities, character, and potential for success in the field of speech-language pathology. Official transcripts from all schools attended must be submitted, and GRE scores are required. Applicants are strongly encouraged to make full use of the available study materials to prepare for the Graduate Record Exam. As is common practice at universities across the nation, the Department weighs most heavily scores obtained on the Verbal and Quantitative sections. Students having interest and/or experience in research should indicate so in their letters.
