Hey everyone,
I was wondering whether anyone knows of programs which allow non-majors to apply for candidacy towards the M.A. / M.S. in SLP without the usual prerequisites (i.e., a biological science, physics/chemistry, statistics, social/behavioral science) or that allow non-majors to apply with the understanding that they should have those prereqs fulfilled prior to enrollment? I know that the University of the Pacific SLP program does not have any prereqs for application but obliges candidates to fulfill the usual prereqs before graduating. Vanderbilt also allows applicants with little to no SLP background but asks them to complete the prereqs prior to enrollment. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign considers non-majors as "fast-trackers" and admits them as grad students with limited status so that they can fulfill the prerequisites.
I recently graduated with a B.A. in French and Philosophy from Notre Dame and so do not have a formal background in SLP. I would need to take another biological science (since my undergrad credit was in plant biology) and statistics (I might have to take another social science if Intro to Criminology is not accepted too). I have only found the above programs to be open to non-major applications and would appreciate anyone's input!
Thanks!
