The profession of speech-language pathology integrates knowledge from many disciplines and students are encouraged to examine coursework in related areas that may strengthen competencies in meeting career goals. Coursework in audiology, psychology, linguistics, areas of education, child development, gerontology, biological sciences, counseling, management, and health services administration are some of the options available.

Students may choose to complete elective hours in linguistics leading to certification to teach English as a second language. This certificate may improve your qualifications for employment in some settings, either in the U.S. or abroad. These courses do not satisfy the requirements for teacher licensure in Ohio. For more information, contact the Department of Linguistics, Gordy Hall.

Certificate programs in several areas are available through the CHSP

Directed studies on varies topics may be taken more than once.

HSLS Electives and Outside Electives
