Submission of Educational Information
- Official transcripts of all U.S. college courses, degrees, and diplomas are required and should be sent directly to the centralized application system.

TOEFL and IELTS Scores
A career in speech-language pathology requires a high level of English proficiency. In order to ensure your success, we require a TOEFL or IELTS score from the following students:
- Those whose native language is not English;
- Those from countries where English is one of the official languages, but not necessarily the first language of the majority of the population;
- Those from countries where English is not a native language, although available as a language of instruction at all or some levels of schooling;
- Those whose transcripts are not in English or are from schools in non-English speaking countries.
For the TOEFL, our minimum cumulative score is 96 (IBT: no score lower than 24 in each of the four (4) sections).
On the IELTS, we require a minimum score of Band 7.
