Bachelor of Arts Speech and Hearing Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts in Speech and Hearing Sciences (B.A. SHS) degree is a four-year program that requires the final two years of coursework, about 55 credits, on the WSU Spokane campus. To be admitted into the final two years, students must complete the WSU UCORE and 17 credits of complementary and approved elective coursework. Students are encouraged to complete the Junior Writing Portfolio on the Pullman campus, although it can be completed on the Spokane campus as well. The Senior Capstone course is completed on the Spokane campus.
The undergraduate degree classes are student-centered, research-based and writing intensive. Students study the science underlying the range of communication disorders and learn the diagnostic and therapy needs of individuals of all ages with a wide variety of speech, language, learning, and hearing problems. Graduates with the B.A. SHS degree are prepared for careers in industries such as healthcare, resource services, and education, as for example, speech-language pathology assistants, research assistants and public health associates. The B.A. SHS degree is pre-professional, and serves as a foundation for further study to become a licensed speech-language pathologist or audiologist.
