Speech and Hearing Sciences

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 clinical master's degree in speech-language pathology (M.A.), the clinical doctoral degree in audiology (Au.D.), or the doctor of philosophy degree (Ph.D.). It is recommended that students seeking preparation for an M.A. in speech-language pathology include in their undergraduate curriculum S111, S201, S333, S350, S425, S427, and S429. For students seeking preparation for the Au.D., it is recommended that students include in their undergraduate curriculum S375, S429, and either S425 or S427. Selection of these courses will minimize the time required to earn an M.A. or Au.D. degree at Indiana University and in other similarly structured graduate programs. In addition, it is recommended that students take at least one course outside of the department in each of the following areas: biology, linguistics, physical sciences, psychology, and statistics.
