Cert in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

Post Bac Communication Sciences and Disorders (Certificate) is a certificate program at Minnesota State University, Mankato. The certificate provides the prerequisite courses that students take before applying to graduate study in speech-language pathology or in audiology. The courses include observation of human communication and other core topics in the field. The coursework is compact and focused, which suits students who want a defined set of skills without a full degree. Credits may be useful later for students who decide to continue toward a larger credential. Prospective students should check the catalog for the current list of required courses. Details such as course sequencing, prerequisites and program policies are published in the university's academic catalog, which students should read alongside advising. Meeting an adviser early helps students plan each term and confirm that the program fits their goals.
