Speech Pathology and Audiology Certificate

Certification in both the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology require a graduate degree. Most graduate programs welcome applicants with undergraduate degrees in a wide range of fields, but require necessary prerequisite coursework in communication sciences and disorders prior to beginning the program. This post-baccalaureate certificate will provide much of the required prerequisite coursework for students with undergraduate majors outside of communication sciences and disorders who plan to apply to graduate programs in speech-language pathology or audiology. It is important to check necessary prerequisites for individual programs, as they vary based on the institution.
