Overview Why Study Discover University

Degree Overview

The program employs an interdisciplinary framework and the degree serves as a prerequisite for admission to graduate school, creating a pathway for students to study either audiology (four-year graduate degree) or speech-language pathology (two-year graduate degree). To better prepare students for graduate school and the workforce, the BS degree can be completed via one of two tracks, both of which also occur in the graduate program: The Speech-Language Pathology Track or The 3+4 Accelerated Audiology Track.
