Model Eastern Michigan University's advanced professional education programs develop leaders who demonstrate reflective thought and scholarship within the context of a culturally diverse society. This is to be done upon completion of 12-15 credit hours of course work in the program, prior to SPSI 607 Colloquium. The committee will consider GPA, faculty recommendations, and demonstrated competence in academic and clinical work. Students must demonstrate behaviors which indicate stability, maturity, understanding, and aptitude as judged necessary for predicted success as a speech-language pathologist. This is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to conduct research and have discussions of reading with faculty and peers.
