Pre-Requisite Coursework

Master's programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders require either a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders or an out-of-discipline bachelor's degree with the foundation coursework necessary to succeed in the advanced level courses in graduate school.

"Longwood Online SLP Master's Pre-Requisites" offers the necessary preparatory courses. Though you may enter the program at any time, some courses will require a pre-requisite.

Note: Other necessary pre-requisite coursework for graduate school includes courses in Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematics. That coursework is not offered through this series of courses.
