COMMUNICATION DISORDERS ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2008 and after) |
|
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab,
Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements neccessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
The curriculum leading to the baccalaureate degree offers liberal arts education in human communication and its disorders. Students learn about anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanisms; sound and its perception; the development of language and communication systems; the components of the English sound system; the neurological bases of speech, language and hearing; and strategies used in the management and evaluation of speech, language and hearing impairments.
The Communication Disorders Major is a limited-access major. To be admitted into the major, you must apply, have completed at least 43 hours and have at least the required GPA of 2.8. Meeting the minimum requirements for application does not guarantee admission. Applications are due March 1st each year and can be found at the Departmental website, http://comm.fsu.edu/CommDisDept/index.php.
A list of recommended courses to satisfy the Liberal Studies requirements is available from the Academic Advisor in Communication Disorders. Students are recommended to include MAC 1105 and STA 2122 in their pre-major coursework.
