Admission Requirements: Bachelor of Health Science (BHS)
- Students seeking admission to the BHS Program in Communication Science and Disorders (CSD) must be admitted to the University and should enroll in the School of Health Professions.
- Students must apply, and be admitted, to the BHS program to complete the junior- and senior-level coursework in CSD. This sequence of courses begins in the fall and requires four full semesters to complete. It is impossible to condense the sequence into a shorter time span as each course is offered only one semester each year and the courses must be taken in the appropriate order.
- Applicants must have completed at least 42 semester credit hours of college coursework before applying to the program. Students who are admitted must have completed at least 60 semester credit hours of coursework by the time they begin the junior-level coursework in the fall.
- To be considered for admission to the BHS program, an applicant's cumulative grade point average (GPA) must be at least 2.75 on a four-point scale and the applicant's ACT Composite score must be 22 or higher. However, meeting these minimum criteria does not guarantee acceptance into the Program.
- The BHS application deadline is February 1. Applicants will be notified of their admission status (accepted; not accepted; or decision deferred until Spring Semester grades are available) by February 15. Applications may be submitted between February 1 and May 1 for inclusion in a later review if not all available positions have been filled in the first round of admissions.
- Department faculty will serve as advisors for all students admitted to the BHS program.
