The audiology minor offers students an opportunity to obtain a foundational understanding of hearing science, auditory disorders, and clinical assessment techniques. Designed for students interested in communication sciences, healthcare, or related fields, this minor presents valuable insights into the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, hearing loss, and intervention strategies.
The minor consists of four courses covering key topics such as the principles of audiology, hearing assessment methods, amplification options, auditory rehabilitation, and the impact of hearing loss on communication. Through a combination of theoretical learning and practical applications, students may gain essential knowledge to pursue a career in audiology or to complement careers in speech-language pathology, healthcare, education, and related disciplines.
Note: This minor is not open to students majoring in the Bachelor of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, those pursuing a combined major with Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, or those pursuing a Minor in Communication Sciences and Disorders or in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.
