Post-Baccalaureate Curriculum in Communicative Disorders
College of Health Sciences
The Department of Communicative Disorders operates the Central Mississippi Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic to facilitate the clinical education of students in speech-language pathology, facilitate faculty-student research, and to provide services to person with speech, language, cognitive, swallowing and/or hearing disorders in Jackson and the surrounding counties.
Post-Baccalaureate Curriculum
The post-baccalaureate curriculum is designed for students who have completed an undergraduate degree that is not in speech language pathology, communicative disorders, or speech & hearing sciences and are interested in completing the prerequisites necessary to apply for a graduate degree program in Communicative Disorders. The post baccalaureate student will enroll in selected courses from the undergraduate curriculum. Successful completion of post-baccalaureate coursework in the area of Communicative Disorders does not guarantee automatic acceptance into the graduate program.
Post-baccalaureate students must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, or an earned Master’s Degree or higher degree from an accredited university to be enrolled in the post-baccalaureate curriculum.
The post-baccalaureate curriculum is designed to be completed in two (2) consecutive semesters, beginning in the Fall and culminating in the Spring. The curriculum is a sequenced curriculum, which means that the schedule of classes offered during the Fall semester are prerequisite classes for the classes offered during the Spring semester. All of the classes that are listed in the fall are required to be taken and passed with a letter grade of “C” or higher before the student can enroll in the Spring semester classes that are listed.
