I have a Bachelor's degree in another field
When your Bachelor's Degree is in an area other than Speech Pathology and Audiology, you need to complete our undergraduate curriculum or its equivalent to be considered as an applicant for our classified graduate program.
Students who wish to complete the equivalent of the undergraduate curriculum at Sacramento State will no longer have the option of applying to our department as a conditional graduate student.
As an alternative, a Second Bachelor’s degree program is currently under development through the College of Continuing Education at Sacramento State. The application process for this second bachelor’s degree program is in development and will not likely be available until sometime next spring for fall 2013. It is possible that the program may not begin until Spring 2014. Either way, it will be four semesters (including summers) long and prepare students to apply to Master’s programs beginning Fall 2015.
Please Check back on this webpage for updates on the application process for the Second Bachelor's Degree program.
Pre-requisites courses for the program are:
- Introductory General Anatomy Class (Highly recommended, but not required)
- Introduction to Psychology
- Human Development (Child-Adult, must cover birth through geriatric population). (Sac State Course: CHDV 30 Human Development)
- One course in the Physical Sciences
- One course in the Biological Sciences
- Statistics (one course). There are a number of courses offered which cover the introductory material in statistics. These are offered at Sac State in mathematics, psychology, social work, etc.
Co-requisite courses for the program are:
- Sign Language (one course): At least one course must be completed before registering for SPHP 133.
Other Speech Pathology and Audiology Programs
You can complete coursework in the field from other University programs and have your courses evaluated for equivalency when you apply for classified admission to our graduate program. The American Speech Language Hearing (www.ASHA.org) website has links to online and residential programs and undergraduate coursework is fairly consistent across most ASHA accredited programs.A partial list of California programs and their weblinks can be found on our Resource/Links page.
