The Master of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders program at UCF participates in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Centralized Application Service, known as CSDCAS. Prospective students applying to the Communication Sciences and Disorders MA program for the Spring 2017 entering class and beyond must apply online using the CSDCAS application. To learn more about the CSDCAS application process, visit http://www.capcsd.org/csdcas/csdcas-student-page/.

Entry Terms: The program only accepts one application from each prospective student per application deadline. For the February 1 deadline, applicants must choose to apply for the Fall semester. However, applicants may apply for spring (October 1 deadline), regardless if they have applied for admission in other terms.

Step 1: Complete the CSDCAS application for the UCF program

  • Completed CSDCAS Application (https://csdcas.liaisoncas.com/applicant-ux/#/login)

  • One official transcripts (in a sealed envelope) from each college/university attended.

  • Three (3) letters of recommendation with CSDCAS recommendation forms, preferably two from former faculty members. Letters of recommendation cannot be dated more than one year prior to the date of the application deadline.

  • All international students must meet university minimum TOEFL score requirements regardless of language in which the undergraduate program was completed.

Step 2: Complete University of Central Florida’s Graduate School application

In addition to your CSDCAS application, applicants must also submit a UCF application for graduate admission at https://application.graduate.ucf.edu/apply/. Supporting documents (i.e. transcripts, test scores, etc.) do not need to be submitted to UCF directly. University applications must also be submitted by the stated application deadlines.

Admission to the Communication Sciences and Disorders program is granted on a competitive basis. Approximately thirty-five (35) students are admitted each semester. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. The recent class statistics are listed on the Graduate Program Profile webpage. Additionally, the program reserves the right to deny admission or dismiss a student after admission to the program if, in the judgment of the faculty, the student fails to demonstrate and/or uphold the ASHA Code of Ethics (http://www.asha.org/code-of-ethics/) during coursework and/or practice in the field.
