Below is an advising companion flow chart with key events for your CSD major! Remember to always refer back to CSD and University guidelines.
First-year students with 28+ credits transferred to JMU please consult Dr. Christina Kuo (kuocx@jmu.edu) prior to or early in the first semester.
Graduate school is required to practice as either an audiologist or a speech-language pathologist. Graduate admissions are highly competitive. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is typically required for graduate program admission, with many, if not most, programs requiring a GPA above 3.0 (See ASHA: https://www.asha.org/students/planning-your-education-in-csd/#graduate). GPA > 3.5 is what we encourage CSD students to try and maintain.
