Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Major
Course Sequence (69 - 72 units)
The following is a suggested program of study for the SPPA major that lists all required courses in sequence. This program is designed for students who begin as pre-majors in their freshman year. Students who begin as sophomores or juniors will have a different course sequence in their final year. Because many of these courses are only offered one semester each year, students must plan their program of study carefully. Courses that fulfill General Education requirements are listed with an asterisk.
