The Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology major focuses on diagnosis and intervention for those who have speech or hearing problems. It provides a foundation for students who wish to continue study at the graduate level to become certified as speech-language pathologists or audiologists or who wish to pursue other careers related to communication disorders.

Prior to enrollment in clinical methods (CDIS 3300 ), students must achieve a minimum overall GPA of 2.60 in 60 credit hours or 3.00 in the last 30 credit hours, a minimum GPA of 2.80 in the major, and a minimal grade of C in each prerequisite course. To enroll in and continue clinical practicum, students must meet academic and professional eligibility criteria established by the faculty and published in the clinic manual. Academic criteria include GPA standards, mastery of phonetic features and transcription, mastery of morpheme analysis, and competence in speaking and writing. Students who do not receive a grade of B- or higher in both English composition courses (ENGL 1010  and ENGL 1020 ) will be required to retake (ENGL 1010  and/or ENGL 1020 ) to improve writing proficiency.
