If you are interested in working with individuals with communication differences or disorders, the  Bachelor of Science in Special Education K-12 Communication Sciences and Disorders Endorsement  could be your first step toward a career in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. 

You will need a graduate degree to practice in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. Still, our undergraduate program will give you the foundation you need for your graduate studies.

Learn

In the Special Education K-12 Communication Sciences and Disorders Endorsement program, you will learn and develop skills related to human communication and communication disorders. 

Opportunities

You will have the opportunity to: 1) meet peers in the major, gain new skills; and learn more about the professions by participating in EMU’s chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA); 2) participate in the Undergraduate Research Symposium; and, 3) compete for a prestigious Brehm Scholarship. Most Special Education K-12 Communication Sciences and Disorders Endorsement graduates pursue graduate degrees in Speech-Language Pathology.

Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology 

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association issues Certificates of Clinical Competence to individuals who present satisfactory evidence of their ability to provide independent clinical services to persons with communication disorders (speech, language, and hearing). An individual who meets these requirements may be awarded a Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology, depending upon the emphasis of their preparation.

Important Note:

This major must be paired with a general education content area of specialization. Therefore, students pursuing this major must also major in either Elementary - Early Childhood Teaching and Learning (with Certification) [BS] or Teaching and Learning (with Secondary Certification) [BS].

For Secondary Certification, in addition to satisfying the requirements of this major and Teaching and Learning (with Secondary Certification) [BS], students must also complete a secondary education major in a discipline (three majors in total). Students are highly encouraged to discuss the cost and time needed to complete this option with an advisor before beginning coursework.
