We are looking for students whose academic and professional backgrounds, communication skills, and passion for the field meet the demands of their chosen program and promise a successful career.
If you are applying for our on-campus Communication Disorders program, you can apply through the CSDCAS online application. If you are an Emerson undergraduate student applying to the on-campus Communication Disorders program use this application form, not the CSDCAS application. If you are applying to the online Communication Disorders program, you can apply through the Speech@Emerson website.
You are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, but no later than the deadlines listed below.
*Priority Decision Advantages: priority review for admission, first consideration for scholarships, earlier receipt of an admissions decision, and additional time to find housing and for international students to secure their visa.
Active-Duty & Veteran Applicants: All applicants, with the exception of those applying to our on-campus Communications Disorders (MS) program, who are on active duty in the U.S. Military, are members of the U.S. Reserves or National Guard, or are Veterans of the U.S. Military will automatically have their application fee waived.
