Important Program Information
- Meeting program minimums does not guarantee admission to the program.
- Please note: applicants with the most competitive and successful applications tend to have GRE scores of at least 450 (old scoring scale)/150 (new scoring scale) on the verbal section of the GRE and 500 (old)/144 (new) on the quantitative section.
- Students with the highest GPAs and test scores are considered for admission first. Even though a student may meet the minimum requirements, admission is competitive and not guaranteed.
- No letters of recommendation are required.
- The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders does not offer probationary admission.
- For tests taken July 2011 or later, we are currently using the concordance information provided by ETS. A new evaluation scale that includes the new GRE scores is currently under development and will be published once it is approved.
International Applicants
-
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Exam, International English Language Testing System (IELTS), English Language Centers 109, or completion of level 6 at VSU's English Language Institute – Applicants whose first language is not English (based on country of citizenship) must submit one of the above. International applicants whose first language is not English but who have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution may be exempt from the language proficiency requirement.
-
Certificate of Finances- The Certificate of Finance is required of any applicant requiring a student visa to enter the United States to complete his or her studies. This document is considered a part of the application for admission and applications will not be reviewed without this document. Applicants who do not require an I-20 student visa to complete their studies are exempt from this requirement.
-
Evaluation of International Transcripts - Applicants who have completed coursework at an institution outside of the United States must submit a course-by-course evaluation of the coursework. This transcript evaluation must be completed by an international education credentials evaluation service such as Josef Silny, ECE, etc. The transcript evaluation does not replace the transcript requirement. Official transcripts are still required.
