Program Description 

The post bachelor’s leveling program in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) at Rockhurst University is designed to give individuals who have already earned a bachelor’s degree in another discipline a path to earning a graduate degree in CSD. The leveling program allows admitted students to complete the necessary prerequisite courses to begin graduate studies in speech-language pathology. Students accepted into the leveling program are provisionally admitted to the Master of Science in CSD program.

For more information, please contact the Office of Admissions at graduate@rockhurst.edu.

About the Master of Science in CSD

Once leveling coursework is complete, students begin their graduate studies in CSD. By incorporating learning in and out of the classroom, the CSD graduate program will best prepare students to offer speech-language services in a variety of facilities and settings. Through community-based clinical practicum experiences, service-learning opportunities and a curriculum emphasizing ethics, you will become a well-rounded clinician with a true passion for helping others.
