Purpose: This curriculum is designed for students who plan to complete an Associate of Arts Degree at Rend Lake College and transfer to Southeast Missouri State University to complete a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders Degree.  The Associate of Arts Degree fulfills the lower division University Studies requirement.  The goal of this degree program is to provide a common set of learning experiences that characterize the breadth and diversity of the discipline.  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.
