Most
of the courses offered in the Department of
Communication Sciences may be used to satisfy the College of Liberal
Arts and
Sciences requirements (at least twenty-five credits at the 3000/4000
level
courses in the
department) for a major in Communication Sciences.
Listed below are the courses offered by the
Communication
Disorders division. Courses marked with
* are required for all students with a major/concentration in
Communication
Disorders. Additional courses will be
taken to complete the 25 credit requirement and to supplement the
pre-professional preparation for students planning graduate study in
the fields
of speech/language pathology or audiology.

Note: Because
some courses have prerequisites, students entering the major after
their fifth semester could have difficulty acquiring 25 credits in
their major by their eighth semester. In order to be certified as
speech-language pathologists or audiologists, the American Speech and
Hearing Association requires students to have background in
math/statistics, the biological sciences and the physical sciences.
Students are required to take at least one of the following courses in
these three areas:
1) math/statistics (MATH 1040Q, MATH 1060Q, or STAT 1100Q),
2) biological sciences (BIOL 1102, BIOL 1103, or BIOL 1107/1108), and
3) physical sciences (PHYS 1010Q or PHYS 1075Q).
In
addition to major area courses, the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences requires that students complete twelve credits of 2000 level
courses taken outside of the Department that are related to the
major. These do not have to be from the same department.
Ordinarily courses from Allied Health, Anthropology, Linguistics,
Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Biology are selected for
relateds. The following is a partial list of related
courses. Other courses may be used to satisfy this requirement
with permission of the advisor. Prerequisites have been
indicated; however, these are subject to change and students are
responsible for checking the Bulletin or with the offering department
for details.
