Speech and Hearing Science offers a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant certificate. This program prepares students who have majored or are majoring in Speech and Hearing Science to be eligible for the Speech-Language Pathology Assistant Licensure, in order to work as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant under the direction of a Speech-Language Pathologist.
Current undergraduate students who have completed at least nine credit hours in speech and hearing science coursework with an overall minimum GPA of 2.75 in the major and "B-" grade or higher in those courses are eligible to apply. Applications are also accepted from students who have completed a bachelor's degree in speech and hearing science or communication disorders from a program accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association with a major GPA of at least 2.75 (scale is 4.00 = "A").
A student pursuing an undergraduate certificate must be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at ASU. Undergraduate certificates are not awarded before the completion of an undergraduate degree. A student who already holds an undergraduate degree may pursue an undergraduate certificate as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.
A supplemental application is required for this certificate. Admission is limited because of placement capacity for the required internship experience. See the supplemental application for more information on the application process and deadlines.
