Declaring the Major

To be eligible for the major, you must earn a grade point average of 3.0 or better for the three courses Com Dis 201, 202, and 240, the first time these courses are attempted. Prospective majors typically begin taking this three-course “gateway” sequence as sophomores.

If you are a prospective major in the College of Letters & Science, you must complete a major declaration form after satisfying the gateway criteria. Return the completed form to an undergraduate academic advisor for processing.

If you are a prospective major in the School of Education, do not declare using the short L&S form above. Instead, apply for admission to the School, with Communicative Disorders as the designated major. For details, read the School’s application procedures and admission criteria. In effect, admission to the major is implicit in admission to the School of Education.
