Step 1: Research one university in your state/country that offers both an undergraduate and graduate degree in speech-language pathology and audiology. Then, prepare a 250-400 word discussion post that:
- Discusses the available options in the speech-language pathology and audiology degrees and the length of time that the programs take to complete. If such offers do not exist, describe a related field.
- Discusses the requirements to become a speech-language pathologist and audiologist in your state/country. Include the minimum degree requirements, the licensure needed to practice, and how to maintain the licensure. If the profession does not exist, discuss the findings from a related profession.
