    About Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Science

    Speech pathologists and audiologists evaluate the communication skills of people with speech, language, and hearing disorders, and develop and implement appropriate treatment plans.

    Clinical practitioners may work in school settings, hospitals, community clinics, rehabilitation facilities, or in private practice.

    The undergraduate major in speech and hearing science emphasizes the normal processes of speech, hearing, and language. Course work for the major prepares students to enroll in either a master's degree program in speech-language pathology or a clinical doctorate program in audiology (Au.D.). The undergraduate BA degree does not qualify an individual to work professionally in the field.

    Students interested in this program need to meet the requirements for admission to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
