Communication Sciences and Disorders, B.S.
The B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders is a preprofessional degree that prepares students to pursue a graduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders or Speech Language Pathology. Students in this program will study the nature and development of our communication abilities, a central aspect of the human condition. They will learn about communication disorders which involve impairments in hearing, speech, voice, resonance, fluency, swallowing, and language processes. Undergraduate students will receive broad academic preparation in the identification and treatment of communication disorders.
The program is designed for undergraduate students seeking a degree and educational preparation to becoming a licensed Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). The program is offered on the Demorest Campus and is delivered in a traditional face-to-face setting with some selected courses offered as hybrid. The program is available to both full-time and part-time students and will prepare students for entry into a graduate program where professional licensing may be obtained.
