Speech Pathology applicants are admitted for every fall and spring term. Audiology applicants are only admitted every fall term, due to sequencing requirements.
In the fall, we typically admit 25-30 speech pathology students and 8-12 audiology students. In the spring, we typically admit 10-15 speech pathology students.
Students are notified by postcard when all application materials are received. Admission decisions are typically made by the middle of March for the fall term and by the middle of October for the spring term.
Under most circumstances, students can complete the master’s in Speech Pathology within six semesters (just under 2 years). Students can complete the Au.D. program within four years.
For speech pathology applicants, the Graduate Admissions Committee will consider only those applicants who have grades for at least 25 hours of undergraduate coursework in communication sciences and disorders. Therefore, students who wish to complete the Master’s degree program in Speech Pathology, should first apply to Illinois State as a graduate student at large or a second degree bachelor’s student in order to complete these undergraduate deficiency hours. Once a student has grades for at least 25 major hours, he or she can apply directly to our graduate program. If admitted at that time, he or she will need to complete the remainder of the undergraduate prerequisite courses as well as all graduate program requirements. Additional information regarding this topic may be obtained by contacting the departmental adviser.
For Au.D. applicants, completion of coursework in hearing science, audiology, and aural rehabilitation is required. These 3 courses will be offered during the summer term and must be completed before beginning the Au.D. courses.
Currently, we have 23 full-time faculty members and one part-time faculty member. Thirteen of these faculty members are doctoral level.
Yes, our department does offer graduate assistantships. In addition, many of our students have graduate assistantships in various departments on campus.
