Undergraduate Program
The programs of study offered by this department are designed for students who are interested in the normal and disordered processes of human communication. The title of the undergraduate major, Speech/Language/Hearing Sciences, indicates that the bachelor’s degree is a pre-professional degree. It is designed to qualify students for admission to graduate level study of speech-language pathology or audiology, but is also appropriate for those who will pursue careers in hearing conservation, education of the hearing impaired, and other areas. A minor or individual classes are appropriate as electives for students with majors in speech communication, elementary and secondary education, special education, reading, psychology, sociology, anthropology, or health. This major is offered with a four year degree guarantee. Contact the Admissions office or the department for details. Undergraduate students from other countries should inquire about becoming eligible for instate tuition. MSUM has applied a tuition waiver for out-of-state U.S. students that do not qualify for reciprocity and meet regular admission standards and remain in good academic standing. This change in tuition policy will function as a four-year pilot study beginning Fall Semester 2002. More information will be forthcoming or you can contact the MSUM Admissions office with any questions you have.
