The major prepares students to pursue a career or graduate education in many fields related to human communication and healthy communication practices. The degree requires at least 128 hours. The program has four concentrations: Audiology, Speech-Language Pathology, Neuroscience of Communication, and Cultural-Linguistic Diversity. Each of the four concentrations can be combined with pre-certification requirements from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association for undergraduates wanting to pursue a career as either a speech-language pathologist or audiologist.  The American Sign Language sequence of courses is available to students across all four concentrations.

A concentration must be declared prior to the senior year. Academic advising is required in the College of Applied Health Sciences and students are advised to consult Undergraduate Advising on a regular basis to ensure they are meeting all requirements.
