专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences has been designed for students interested in studying human communication sciences and disorders. Many students with undergraduate degrees in speech, language & hearing sciences pursue graduate professional training for careers as speech-language pathologists or audiologists. Other students choose a wide diversity of career directions after graduating from the undergraduate program, including, but not limited to, education, research, medicine, public health, and law.

For the undergraduate degree, coursework is taken in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, both within the major and through BU Hub requirements, and in areas related to human communication, such as linguistics, phonetics, anatomy and physiology, and language acquisition. In pre-professional study, students are introduced to the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders. Electives are chosen according to individual interest. Students in this major are eligible to apply for the Sargent College Thesis for Distinction.

Undergraduates should note that employment as a certified speech-language pathologist or audiologist is not possible with only a bachelor’s degree. An advanced degree in speech-language pathology or audiology is required for certification by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) as well as for licensure in most states. Boston University’s graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology is accredited by the Council on Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). The BU master of science program in Speech-Language Pathology enables students to fulfill the requirements for professional certification from ASHA, as well as Massachusetts state licensure and teacher certification.

Learning Outcomes

Students will:

Show measurable progress in the basic foundation knowledge that underlies research and clinical work in speech, language, and hearing sciences.

Apply hearing science, disability awareness, and audiological testing to an analysis of the effects of hearing loss on a specific individual that includes remediation recommendations.

Analyze clinic patients, research lab experiences or other in-depth data to develop skills that can apply directly to their graduate school and/or post-BS employment opportunities.

Interpret data from a speaker with a phonological disorder and support their conclusions by justifying the scope of their analyses, using primary journal articles and providing a coherent summary of their thought process.

Apply their coursework in an integrative way to situations in a clinical, research and/or other professional setting to complete a project or other duties assigned by the internship supervisor.
