  • physical properties of speech (acoustics and phonetics)
  • role of biology, cognition, environment, and culture in language acquisition
  • development of speech and language
  • speech, language, and hearing disorders across the life span
  • assessment and treatment procedures for individuals with speech, language, and hearing disorders
  • professional issues in speech-language pathology and audiology

The bachelor of science (BS) degree requires proficiency in mathematics or computer and information science or a combination of the two. The bachelor of arts (BA) degree requires proficiency in a second language.
