Take MA/SLP or AUD Prerequisites Fully Online

Complete your MA/SLP or AUD prerequisite courses online

In the online program, students complete prerequisite courses either à la carte or in the proscribed sequence. All courses are asynchronous, enabling students to take courses on their own time frame. Students are encouraged to read the pre-clinical program advising page before making decisions.

There is no application to the program. Students can enroll in any online UWW class after completing the UWW non-degree application and requesting a term enrollment appointment.

Some courses in the program assume background knowledge offered in other courses. Students are not required to complete courses in sequence: listed prerequisites apply to UMass undergraduates only. However, students are encouraged to read course descriptions carefully, as you may find coursework more challenging if you have not completed those prerequisites.

We are hosting an information session on Thursday, January 8th, 7:00-8:30PM EST.  If you would like to join us please register.
