Matriculate

Students who have completed all pre-requisite courses, obtained 2 letters of recommendation, taken the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and written a narrative statement, may apply for admission to the COMSC Program through the Hunter College Graduate Admissions Office. Graduate Admissions now accepts electronic applications. 

• February 1 is the deadline for admissions each year
• Applications missing more than 6 credits of pre-requisite courses will not be considered (this does not include those courses that are in process during the semester of the admissions review)
• All components and information in the application must be present and correct
• Each year, the applicant pool sets the acceptable GRE scores and grade point averages (GPA)

Admissions to the COMSC Program is highly competitive with each applicant pool generating its own level of qualitative standards. Applicants are advised to ensure all components of their applications contain correctly entered information.

Non-matriculate

As of May 31, 2011, COMSC will no longer offer non-matriculate courses in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). These pre-requisite, foundation courses in CSD can be completed at any accredited university or college offering undergraduate communication sciences programs. Completion of these foundations of communication sciences classes are critical to applying for matriculate status.
