Overview

The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences at Lamar University for students interested in pursuing work in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology.

Career Opportunities

The Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Science is a pre-professional program, but does not fully prepare a student to work independently as a Speech-Language Pathologist or Audiologist. It prepares students for Graduate level work to obtain a higher, advanced degree (Master’s or Doctorate). It still is an academic degree, and may be beneficial in preparing you for future academic or professional work in other fields. It is important to note that this is a major requiring a further graduate degree.

There are very few opportunities to work in either profession with a bachelor’s degree alone. Additionally, research and teaching positions often require a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences or related fields as the minimum academic degree.
