Communicative Disorders (Online) Leveling Courses

The ENMU CDIS Department offers a complete program of CDIS leveling courses via the internet. Satisfactory grades in the courses listed below may be used by any ENMU student to satisfy the leveling requirements necessary to gain admittance into the ENMU CDIS Graduate Program.

With the exception of CDIS 400 and 421, leveling courses cannot currently be used to satisfy undergraduate CDIS degree requirements at ENMU; however, these courses may be used to satisfy an emphasis area requirement for the Bachelor of University Studies (BUS) degree. Students completing these courses may additionally be eligible for licensure as an Assistant Speech-Language Pathologist/Speech-Language Pathology Apprentice - This may vary from state to state and students interested in this option must consult their State Regulation and Licensing Board for exact requirements.

Our courses have recently been re-structured to allow students to begin the sequence in either Fall or Spring. Each leveling course is offered one time per year. The rotation listed below will be valid through Spring 2010.
