Are S H S students required to maintain a minimum G P A?
Yes.
Prerequisites* for enrolling in SPE 400 and REF 400 include a 2.65 grade point average in core courses and grades of "C" or higher in English 101 and 102.
A grade of "C" or higher is required in S H S courses [includes the department's Capstone course, S H S 431].
In addition, a 2.25 grade point average is a prerequisite for enrolling in the following departmental courses: SHS 410, 411, 412, 416, 421, 430, 431, and 432.

___________________________
Since most employment in speech-language pathology and audiology requires a graduate degree, each student should maintain grades that will qualify for admission to graduate school.
For this reason, the department has set forth the following minimum academic standards to be maintained for courses taken in S H S and in the College of Education and Psychology. At the end of each academic year, the minimum G P A in these courses must be as follows:
- Sophomore: 2.50
- Junior: 2.75
- Senior: 3.00
Students whose G P A's fall below these minimum levels should understand that they will probably be unable to gain admission to a graduate program and that they may be unable to realize their career goals in the Speech and Hearing Sciences.
Additionally, the S H S faculty meets periodically to discuss the status of students in the department and may advise individual students who are failing to maintain the prescribed standards to consider another area of study.
