Return to: Academic Programs
This major focuses on the physical and psychological foundations of speech, language, hearing, and swallowing to prepare students for graduate work in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields. Completion of a professional graduate program is required to become a speech-language pathologist or audiologist.
Students should complete the relocation form to transfer to the communication science program after successful completion of at least 45 of the required general education credits. It is not necessary to complete all of the listed prerequisites, as any prerequisite courses not completed can be taken after relocation. It is advisable, however, to include as many as possible in the 60 prerequisite credits. There is no minimum grade requirement for each course, but students must earn a cumulative QPA of 2.5.
