Welcome Class of 2024-2025!

The Post-Baccalaureate Leveling Program is designed to provide the prerequisite courses needed to apply to the graduate program in communication sciences and disorders at UH for individuals who have already obtained a bachelor’s degree in an area other than communication sciences and disorders or speech-language pathology.
