Certificate in Speech and Hearing Sciences


The certificate in speech and hearing sciences in linguistics provides guidance and coursework for undergraduate majors in linguistics preparing to pursue graduate study in speech-language pathology or audiology. Students who complete the certificate will supplement a strong foundation in modern linguistic theory with coursework required for graduate study in the speech and hearing sciences. Note that is not necessary to complete the certificate in order to take courses in speech and hearing through linguistics.
 
Core required courses for the certificate introduce students to the study of communication disorders and the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology, while building across courses a knowledge of how the anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanisms and the physical characteristics of speech sounds affect communication. Elective courses enable students to gain further expertise in language, science, and mathematics relevant for graduate study and certification by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
 
In addition to coursework, the certificate includes a portfolio of professional experiences related to linguistics and the speech and hearing sciences. The portfolio content will reflect the student's understanding of how knowledge about the human language capacity and linguistics can inform and enrich the practice of speech-language pathology and audiology, while the experiences gained in assembling the portfolio will help students become familiar with career opportunities in these fields and make them aware of how their training has prepared them to enter these fields as a professional.
 
The certificate consists of five 3-credit required courses, two 3-credit electives, and a portfolio. Two of the required courses (Language Development (440) and Phonetics (451)) overlap with the major and are automatically counted as 2 of the C electives in the major and two of the required courses for the certificate. The requirements for the major with certificate are distributed as follows:
 
Requirement R1: One introductory course (01:615:201)
 
Requirement R2: B core theoretical courses (four  courses: 01:615:305, 315, 325, 350)
 
Requirement R3: Linguistics electives (six courses)
a. 01:615:440 Language Development (also in R5)
b. 01:615:451 Phonetics (also in R5)
c. At least one other C course
d. Three C or D courses
Requirement R4: Capstone (one course)
Either a senior honors thesis (01:615:495/496) or the advanced seminar (01:615:497)
Requirement R5: Speech and hearing required courses (five courses)

Portfolio
a. A 500- to 750-word personal statement appropriate for application to graduate studies.
b. Attendance at four pre-approved events related to language and/or Speech and Hearing Sciences.
c. A 4- to 5-page report (double-spaced, 1" margins, 11- or 12-point font) making a connection between linguistic training and speech-language pathology or audiology experience outside of course-work. This experiential requirement could be fulfilled in a number of ways, such as: in-person observations arranged independently; online observation programs, which may be part of the required courses; and attendance at the pre-approved events related to language and/or speech and hearing sciences.
