Introduction

An undergraduate curriculum may be selected to provide a strong preparation for continued study at the graduate level in speech and hearing sciences. Students not intending to pursue graduate study for careers in speech-language pathology or audiology may elect a variety of other combinations of courses, in preparation for graduate studies in other fields or for a range of other career choices. The department of Speech and Hearings Sciences (SPHS) offers both B.A. and B.S. degree programs; students should consult the undergraduate advisor and evaluate each degree carefully. The department is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Major in Speech and Hearing Sciences—B.S.

Purpose
The B.S. program in speech and hearing sciences is designed to provide students with a more scientific and mathematical background in the field. Two concentrations are described below which have similar core requirements (the requirements for items 6 and 7d are different) but different major concentration requirements (see item 8 in each). Please note that the audiology and hearing science concentration has a clinical focus whereas the speech and language sciences concentration does not. The decision of which concentration to pursue should be made in consultation with the undergraduate advisor based on a student's individual interests and goals.

Requirements

Audiology and Hearing Science
The concentration in audiology and hearing science should be selected by students considering graduate studies in audiology, employment as audiologists in medical facilities, or possible careers in hearing research. This is a clinically focused program. (Prospective majors should note that at least an additional year of graduate course work is required beyond the B.S. to work clinically as an audiologist.)

Graduate Study

Students completing the B.A. or B.S. degree in speech and hearing sciences may wish to continue their studies at the graduate level in a program leading to the masters degree in speech-language pathology or audiology. It is recommended that students seeking preparation for graduate study in speech-language pathology include in their curriculum S201, S420, S436, S444, S461, S473, and S478. Students seeking preparation for graduate study in audiology are recommended to select their curriculum to include all courses in Area A plus S371, S436, and either S420 or S444. In addition, students planning to work in the school system following graduate study may elect to take EDUC M463 Public School Methods in preparation for school certification. Selection of these courses will minimize the time required to earn an M.A. degree at Indiana University and in other similarly structured graduate programs.
