Interdisciplinary Biology/Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences

Students who are interested in pursuing an interdisciplinary major in Biology and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences will need to take the required Biology and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences courses listed below. In addition to the following, students are required to complete five upper-level biology electives (three 200-Level+ and two 300-Level+).

Required Courses

BL 150 - Foundations of Biology I and
BL 151 - Foundations of Biology I Lab
BL 152 - Foundations of Biology II and
BL 153 - Foundations of Biology II Lab
BL 154 - Foundations of Biology III and
BL 155 - Foundations of Biology III Lab
Three biology electives (200-level or higher)
Two biology electives (300 level or higher)
SP 103 - Introduction to Communication Disorders
SP 201 - Hearing Science and Acoustics
SP 205 - Phonetics
SP 206 - Observation Methods and Techniques in Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology
SP 207 - Speech and Language Development
SP 301 - Anatomy and Physiology: Speech and Voice
SP 304 - Articulation and Phonological Disorders
SP 308 - Professional and Technical Writing in Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology
SP 340 - Clinical Audiology
SP 400 - Speech Science
Two courses from CH, CS, MA/ST, or PH. These courses must be those typically taken by biology majors.

Two courses

Students are required to complete two courses from the following:

CH 101 - General Chemistry I and
CH 105 - General Chemistry Lab I
CH 102 - General Chemistry II and
CH 106 - General Chemistry Lab II
CS 151 - Computer Science through Programming
CS 212 - Object-Oriented Data Structures
MA 251 - Calculus I or
MA 252 - Calculus II or
ST 210 - Introduction to Statistics or
ST 265 - Biostatistics
PH 101 - Introductory Physics I with Lab
PH 102 - Introductory Physics II with Lab
Other courses may be substituted with prior approval of the department chair or Director of Curriculum and Advising.

Note:

Statistics (ST 110 or higher) will fulfill the math core requirement; a foundational biology course and general chemistry with a lab (CH 101 /CH 105 ) will fulfill natural science core for both majors; it is recommended that students satisfy the satisfy the social science core with a psychology course for both majors.
