| On page 80, under the heading DEGREES, in the BACHELOR
OF SCIENCE IN COMMUNICATION SCIENCES AND DISORDERS section of the College
of Communication chapter of the Undergraduate Catalog, 2004-2006, make
the following changes: |
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
| 1. |
Students specializing in speech/language pathology [or audiology] must
complete at least [thirty] thirty-one semester hours of coursework in communication
sciences and disorders; those specializing in audiology must complete
at least thirty-five hours; those specializing in education of the deaf/hearing-impaired
must complete at least [twenty-five] twenty-eight hours. For students in
all three specializations, fifteen hours of this coursework must be upper-division.
No more than [thirty-six] thirty-eight semester hours of
coursework in communication sciences and disorders may be counted toward
the degree. Coursework in American Sign Language may not be used to satisfy
requirement 1 and is not included in the [thirty-six] thirty-eight hours
allowed for the degree. The following courses are required:
| a. |
Speech/language pathology: Communication Sciences and Disorders
306K, 311K, 313L, 315S, 341, 350, 367K, 368K, 168L, 371, and either 373 or both 378 and
178L.
|
| b. |
Audiology: Communication Sciences and Disorders 306K, 311K, 313L,
315S, 341, 350, 367K, 368K, 168L, 371, 373, [and] 378,
and 178L.
|
| c. |
Education of the deaf/hearing-impaired: Communication Sciences
and Disorders 308K, 311K, 313L, 314L, 341, 360M, 368K, 168L, and
[seven] six additional semester hours of upper-division coursework

At least six semester hours of coursework must be taken in the College
of Communication but outside communication sciences and disorders. However,
no student may count toward the degree more than [forty-two] forty-four semester hours (including transfer credit) in College of Communication
coursework.
|
| 3. |
No College of Communication course to be counted toward the degree may
be taken on the pass/fail basis, unless the course is offered only on that
basis. |
RATIONALE:
Communication Sciences and Disorders students are required to concurrently
enroll in these laboratory hours that augment the course content of the respective
courses. In effect, these additional hours will increase the total hours required
for the major.
Deaf Education majors must now take CSD 311K. This course will provide a strong
foundation for required upper-division communication sciences and disorders courses
in the major.
The department has determined that in order for students to be successful in
CSD 371 that students need the background provided in CSD 350. This course will
now be a pre-requisite for CSD 371.
