COMDDE Majors

Admission & Graduation Requirements

• GPA of 3.0 across all courses required for the COMDDE Major that a student can take in pre-COMDDE status
• Earned at least 45 semester credits
• Complete at least 5 courses required for the COMDDE Major that the student can take in pre-COMDDE status: Required Gen Ed, Additional Core, COMD 2600 , COMD 3500  and optionally COMD 3010 .

For the COMDDE Major, students take 11 COMD courses and two COMD Options courses plus Gen Ed and Additional Core (see lists below for the courses in each category.)

In order to graduate with a degree in COMDDE, students admitted to the major must maintain a 3.0 major GPA and a grade of C or better in all COMD courses required for the student’s COMDDE major.  A student must maintain a 3.0 (B) cumulative GPA every semester. 

To improve learning and major GPA, students are allowed to repeat up to a total of three COMD courses. They can also repeat COMDDE Major Required Gen Ed and Additional Core courses (See university policy on repeats; total allowed includes COMD repeats).

Students who fail to meet and maintain the retention criteria will be consideredc to be on probation. Probationary students may take up to five COMDDE Major courses to regain a cumulative major GPA of 3.0 or better. Students who fail to meet the retention requirements following probation cannot continue in the COMDDE Major. Only one probationary period is permitted.

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.
