Program of Study


This preparation program provides the prerequisite coursework for a student to apply to the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (MS in SLP) at CSUSM. These courses may also be used as the prerequisite coursework for other master’s programs in the field of speech-language pathology or communicative sciences and disorders, and interested students should consult with individual programs about their equivalency.

Thirty-three (33) units of undergraduate study are part of this preparation program:

Note:


Students should note that the American Speech-Language Hearing Association requires coursework in: Biological Sciences (preferably related to humans or animals), Physical Sciences (preferably physics or chemistry), Social Sciences (e.g., Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, or Public Health) and Statistics (must be a stand-alone course, for example Research Methods will not meet this requirement) in order to apply for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC). This certificate will provide students with the coursework to satisfy all of the ASHA  requirements listed above.

SLP 320  and BIOL 320  count as the Biological Science requirement. Please note that while these courses are specific to speech and hearing, they are considered General Education  (GE) courses at CSUSM and therefore count toward the Biological Sciences requirement.

PHYS 357  counts as the Physical Requirement. It is also a GE Course at CSUSM and therefore counts toward the Physical Science requirement.

EDUC 380  or PSYC 330  counts as the Social Science requirement.

MATH 142  is a course in Statistics.
