  • To count toward the minor, courses must be selected from the courses listed above or approved in advance by the minor advisor.
  • A grade of C- or higher is required for a course to count toward the minor; Pass/No Pass grades do not count for the minor.
  • For students who intend to pursue graduate studies in audiology, speech-language pathology, or deaf education, we recommend meeting with the minor advisor to develop a course of study that will fulfill prerequisite requirements for the intended area of study.
  • Because the Minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences is offered by the Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences (PACS) in the School of Medicine, it may not be used as an Integration and does not otherwise fulfill any Arts & Sciences distribution requirements.
