What background courses does Emerson require if I don’t have an undergraduate degree in Communication Disorders?
The titles of the courses will vary from institution to institution, but in terms of course content, we require courses that cover the following: anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanisms, acoustic and articulatory phonetics (or separate courses in phonetics and speech science), audiology, a course in language development, and an introductory survey course of communication disorders. The program where these are taken does not have to be accredited as they are undergraduate courses and only master’s degree programs are accredited. You may take these at one or more institutions, depending on what best suits your circumstances.
