An additional 12 hours in Speech Communication courses are required, only three of which may be at the 200 level, and six of which must be at the 400 level. No more than three hours from Speech Communication 445 (Internship), Speech Communication 491 (Foreign Study), Speech Communication 492 (Off-Campus Study), or Speech Communication 493 (Independent Study) may be counted toward the major. Students whose GPA in Speech Communication courses falls below 2.25 or whose GPA in all courses falls below 2.0 will be given a warning. If after one semester's grades have been received, either the overall GPA is below 2.0 or the GPA in Speech Communication courses is below 2.25, the student will be dropped as a major in Speech Communication. Students who subsequently raise the overall GPA to at least 2.0 and the GPA in Speech Communication courses to at least 2.25 may reapply for admission as a major in Speech Communication.
