Pitt’s Guaranteed Admissions Programs (GAP) offer students a secure pathway to graduate study, ensuring admission to select Pitt graduate programs while allowing them to pursue any* undergraduate major that aligns with their interests and career goals. While it does not shorten the time required to complete a degree, you will gain special access to faculty, current students and opportunities to learn more about the field throughout your undergraduate studies.
Students applying to Pitt as first-year undergraduate students may be eligible for the GAP offered by select SHRS graduate programs. Answer the question “Would you like to be considered for a Guaranteed Admission Program?” on your first-year application to be screened for a guarantee.
SHRS Guaranteed Admissions Programs include:
*The Communication Science and Disorders Guarantee requires students to complete an undergraduate degree in Communication Science (BA).
No, a graduate degree is entry-level for both career fields. Speech-language pathology requires a master’s level degree and audiology requires a doctoral degree (AuD). Aspiring AuDs and SLPs must complete their graduate programs and then pass a national test and complete a Clinical Fellowship Year to be certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to obtain a state license to practice speech-language pathology or audiology.
