Audiology and Speech Pathology

The undergraduate program in audiology and speech pathology prepares students for admission to graduate education in either audiology or speech-language pathology. Entry-level credentials for both professions require graduate degrees. As such, Bloomsburg University does not make recommendations for state certification in either discipline at completion of the undergraduate program. The pre-professional curriculum provides the student with a broad general education background. The primary emphasis is on general education with a few introductory courses pertaining to the professions of speech pathology and audiology. The required undergraduate courses are prerequisite to graduate school admission and are based on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accreditation and certification requirements. Many Bloomsburg students are accepted in nationally recognized graduate programs throughout the country, including Bloomsburg's own CAA accredited master's programs.
