Early Decision for Admission

 A select number of highly qualified students will be offered conditional admission to the Graduate Program in Speech-Language Pathology in the spring semester of their junior year.

 Qualifications:

Undergraduate students enrolled in the Speech-Language Pathology Program at the University of Toledo who meet the following criteria can apply for Early Decision:

• Undergraduate junior status.
• Completion of prerequisite courses in natural science (biology), physical science (physics), college level algebra and behavioral.  Courses must have been taken at the University of Toledo with a grade of B or better.
• 3.5 or greater cumulative GPA and GPA in the major based on all coursework in the major up to and including the fall semester of the junior year.
• One letter of recommendation from a University of Toledo faculty member.
• One letter of recommendation from a community member, but who is not a relative to the applicant.

 Process:

• Students who meet the above qualifications should apply online to the College of Graduate Studies by March 1 of their junior year.
• A select number of qualified students may be invited for a group interview in March with the faculty of the Speech-Language Pathology Program.
• Up to five (5) qualified students will be accepted into the graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology to begin in the fall following graduation on the condition they complete all pre-requisite courses, earn a B or better in all subsequent courses, and earn their baccalaureate degree.
• Those qualified students who are not selected in the early decision process will automatically be considered for regular admission at the end of fall semester of their senior year.  Thus, these students will not have to re-apply to the College of Graduate Studies by the regular deadline.  However, they will be required to submit updated transcripts and complete additional requirements beyond the application as part of the regular admissions process.
