COMDDE Majors

Admissions Requirements for this Program

To advance from pre-COMDDE to the COMDDE major, students should meet with their advisor after the following requirements have been met:

• Cumulative GPA of 3.0

• Complete at least 45 semester credits

• Complete the following courses: BIOL 1010 , CHEM 1010  or PHYS 1010  or PHYS 1200 , HDFS 1500  or PSY 1100 , PSY 1010 , COMD 2600 , and STAT 1040  or STAT 1045  
• Degree-seeking students take 11 required COMD courses and two 3-credit COMD Options courses

(Transfer students who have completed equivalent courses to those above that have been articulated by USU will be evaluated on those courses.)

In order to graduate with a degree in COMDDE, students admitted to the major must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and receive a grade of C or better in all COMD Major courses and all COMD prerequisite courses. Students are allowed a total of three COMD course repeats.  A student must maintain a 3.0 (B) cumulative GPA every semester.  Students who fail to meet and maintain the retention criteria will not be allowed to take further COMD courses until the GPA is back to 3.0 or better.  Students may waive up to six credits of USU COMD upper division course requirements equivalent to transfer courses approved as lower division COMD Electives. This limit excludes ASL courses. This policy does not affect courses approved as specific USU COMD course transfers.See the COMDDE Policies webpage for policy information.

Acceptance into graduate programs is on a competitive basis. Students are selected on GPA in combination with other indicators of achievement. Students planning on graduate school in speech-language pathology, audiology, or deaf education should carefully and honestly evaluate their potential for excelling in their coursework and maintaining a high GPA.
