Speech and Hearing Sciences -

Admission Requirements

A student entering Delta State University who plans to major in Speech and Hearing Sciences (SHS) is admitted initially on a provisional basis and remains on provisional status until he/she has taken a minimum of 24 hours of SHS courses (12 of which must be taken at Delta State) and has earned a QPA of no less than a 2.5 in all SHS courses completed. Once this level of achievement has been attained, the student must maintain a QPA of 2.60 or higher in all major courses to enroll in clinical practicum. A student may repeat no more than three (3) SHS courses for grade improvement.

A transfer student is held to these same requirements. Courses in communicative disorders taken at other four-year institutions with approved undergraduate programs must be considered individually before transfer credit may be allowed. Credit for SHS courses taken at other institutions for which the student earned lower than C will not be applied to requirements for graduation.
