Audiology and Speech Pathology

About

The Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology offers course work in the scientific study of human communication sciences and disorders. The undergraduate major (audiology and speech pathology) is preparatory to graduate work and to professional certification in some aspect of speech, language, and hearing disorders. The Masters of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology or Doctor of Audiology is required for professional certificates and employment positions.

For students planning a career in Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology, a special 3+1 curriculum is available, culminating in a joint Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. This 3+1 program provides the required courses for admission to graduate programs in either Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology.

As part of the 3+1 program, students complete general education and prerequisite courses offered in the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences (UTK) in 3 years. In the fourth year, the undergraduate requirements for a degree in Audiology and Speech Pathology are completed through the Department of Audiology & Speech Pathology (UTHSC-Knoxville campus). In this model, Audiology & Speech Pathology majors complete 90 credit hours as a UTK student and 30 hours of major classes as a student of UTHSC.

Information about the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology undergraduate major may be obtained from the departmental office, 578 South Stadium Hall, and students are strongly encouraged to consult with the undergraduate advisor in the department as early as possible in their programs.

Entry Requirements

Each college is responsible for developing program-specific, admission requirements, including prerequisite course and other requirements. It is the responsibility of the Office of Admissions to administer the admission requirements developed by individual UTHSC colleges and programs. General admission requirements for all UTHSC colleges include:

Previously earned grades of "D" or below in prerequisite courses are not accepted as fulfilling admission standards.
One or two-semester hour courses in physical education, seminar, music, military science, remedial and developmental, research, and non-theory courses are not counted toward total credit hours earned and are not used in computing the overall, UTHSC Common Grade Point Average (CGPA).
All required prerequisite courses in science must include a lab concurrent with the science courses to fulfill the course requirement.
Correspondence coursework must be approved by appropriate college administrators and the UTHSC Director of Admissions to before inclusion.
Advanced Placement credit, CLEP, or other non-traditional credit in required science prerequisite courses awarded by the applicant's regionally-accredited college may be honored for fulfilling prerequisite course requirements provided that the applicant has successfully completed an equal number of semester hours in the same discipline in a traditional classroom setting.

Note: Some UTHSC colleges and programs do not accept CLEP credit in required science prerequisite coursework. Coursework credit awarded via General CLEP tests is not accepted by the UTHSC. One credit unit in high school or six semester hours of college-level credit in American history must be completed prior to the beginning of the second term of a student's baccalaureate program at UTHSC.
