CURRICULUM IN SPEECH AND HEARING SCIENCE1
The curriculum in speech and hearing science is a preprofessional degree program for those individuals who plan to work as speech-language pathologists or audiologists in clinical or school settings. The master's degree is the minimum level of academic preparation required by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) for certification as a speech-language pathologist or as an audiologist. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to continue their studies and enter professional training at the graduate level in any major graduate program in speech-languate pathology or audiology. Students who desire certification for work in the public schools can fulfill certification requirements by meeting entrance requirements for the Graduate College and completing the master of arts degree.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Speech and Hearing Science requires at least 128 hours, excluding military training.
