Purpose: This curriculum is designed for students who plan to complete an Associate of Arts Degree at Jefferson College and transfer to Southeast Missouri State University to complete a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders Degree. The goal of this degree program is to provide a common set of learning experiences that characterize the breadth and diversity of the discipline. Speech/ language pathologists with a Master’s degree are employed in hospitals, clinics, speech and hearing centers, public schools, universities, retirement centers, and private practice.  Students should plan to pursue the master’s degree as it is the entry-level degree for practice in the discipline.

The Department of Communication Disorders has a formal admission process for majors.

No minor is required for Communication Disorders majors; however, a student has the option of taking courses which are required by the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education for certification as a speech-language specialist in the Missouri public schools.
