BA/BS in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

This bachelor's degree from the School of Health Professions introduces how people speak, hear and communicate, along with the disorders that can affect each of those abilities. Courses are delivered in person on the Lubbock campus. Because hearing and speech are closely linked, students meet both audiology and speech-language pathology without needing to commit to one early. The degree also covers the coursework needed to work as work as a licensed assistant to speech-language pathologists. Practicing as a pathologist or audiologist requires a graduate degree, and this program prepares students to apply for one. Entry assumes sixty-three hours of earlier coursework. The estimated time to finish is two years, with applications running from December through July and a priority date in April. The program belongs to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, a health sciences institution in Texas. Prospective students can ask for information or arrange a conversation with an advisor, and should read the admissions and cost sections of the program page for current details before applying.
