Introduction
The academic and clinical curriculum at the undergraduate level includes a wide range of courses. Students study normal communication processes and disorders. Courses in normal processes include Language Development, Speech Acoustics, Hearing Science, and Anatomy and Physiology. Courses regarding disorders cover Language Disorders, Phonological Disorders, and Hearing Disorders, for example. Students start the minor program in the fall and follow the four-quarter lockstep for required and elective courses for the minor.
Why Consider a Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences Minor?
Students who are interested in learning more about typical speech, language, and hearing development, processes and disorders but who do not want to complete a major in Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences can minor in SLHS. The SLHS minor supplements many other majors and programs of study, such as psychology, linguistics, and early childhood and special education.
