You may take these courses before or during the graduate program. Taking these courses during the program creates a heavier course load; if possible, you are encouraged to complete these courses prior to beginning the graduate program.

• 1 course in biological science (focus on animal or human biology)
• 1 course in physical sciences (focus on chemistry or physics)
• 1 course in behavioral/social sciences
• 1 course in statistics covering t-tests, analyses of variance, chi-square, regression and correlation

AP transfer credit for biological, physical and social sciences can only be used if the original scores meet Purdue minimums. AP credit cannot be used to meet the statistics requirement.

Please note, the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) has higher minimum requirements for English language proficiency for a clinical degree than the Purdue University Graduate School. Also, SLHS does not waive this requirement, even if you have earned a degree within the past 24 months from an institution where English is the primary language of instruction.

To be eligible for admission into the clinical programs or to be eligible for departmental funding as a PhD student (unless other arrangements are made with the students’ PhD supervisor), all international applicants must meet the higher department standards.

English proficiency test scores are required of all international applicants whose first language is not English.

TOEFL Ibt: a minimum total score of 100 with minimum individual scores of 28 for speaking; 22 for writing; 22 for listening; and 22 for reading.

IELTS: a minimum score of 7.5 with no single band score lower than 7.0. International transcripts must be uploaded or submitted in their original form and in translation, along with copies of any diplomas awarded. Please send any paper transcripts to the SLHS Graduate Secretary.

Eligible students may pursue a combined clinical and research dual-track degree program to pursue both a master’s and doctoral degree. You will typically start with coursework in the AuD clinical program while simultaneously beginning to participate in research. Completion of the clinical degree usually precedes advancement to candidacy in the doctoral program, but a proportion of required hours of clinical supervision within the clinical degree may be satisfied through appropriately supervised research activities.
