Distinction in the Major (DM)

Students majoring in Communicative Disorders (CD) who are not honors candidates
may pursue a junior-senior honors curriculum and thereby earn Distinction in the Major.

To obtain Distinction:
(1) Must take all junior-senior honors courses (2 out of 3 required CD courses for honors).
(2) Take the CD Honors Seminar (after obtaining consent of the instructor).
(3) Maintain a minimum 3.75 GPA in the major (all required courses in Communicative Disorders).
(4) Notify the honors advisor of graduation in their final semester and provide an unofficial transcript
to the honors advisor upon completion of classes and posting of grades.
(5) The honors advisor will then verify that criteria for Distinction have been met and will inform the
Registrar's Office, who will post Distinction in the Major on the student's official transcript.

Students do NOT need to complete an honors thesis.
