The Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences supports instruction, research and service, and the primary mission areas of 91自拍论坛 through the degree programs offered. The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in speech and hearing sciences for students interested in pursuing work in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology.
The bachelor’s degree in speech and hearing science is a pre-professional program, but does not fully prepare a student to work independently as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist. It prepares students for graduate level work to obtain a higher, advanced degree (master’s or doctorate). It still is an academic degree, and may be beneficial in preparing you for future academic or professional work in other fields. It is important to note that this is a major requiring a further graduate degree.
Students should understand that graduate school admissions are frequently highly competitive, and students should be prepared to put their best foot forward during their undergraduate coursework to remain in the running for graduate school admission.
