Speech-Language-Hearing Processes (Minor)
This minor may be of particular interest to students majoring in a variety of areas, including: biology, chemistry, communication arts and sciences, engineering, linguistics, music therapy, vocal music, occupational therapy, nursing, psychology, social work, etc.
In the minor, you'll study human communication science and disorders, particularly the anatomic, physiologic, neurologic, psycho-social and physical bases of speech, language and hearing. These topics greatly enhance pre-professional degrees like pre-dentistry and pre-medicine.
Work with an advisor to choose from the courses below to create your own speech-language-hearing processes minor. You can shape your minor to emphasize speech-language-hearing science, communication disorders or some other area that complements your educational and career goals.
Advising
