The Department grants a B.S. degree in
Speech-Language Pathology (SLP).
Two programs of study are currently available:
1. Class B teacher certification is no longer available in
Speech-Language Pathology. Students interested in SLP teacher
certification may obtain the Class A teaching certificate following
completion of the master’s degree. Refer to Montevallo’s Graduate
Bulletin for details regarding graduate education and the Class A
certificate.
2. The pre-professional program leads to the B.S. degree.
Each student in the Department must earn a grade of C or better in all
departmental courses. This policy applies to all major CSD courses. If a grade below C is received in a required course, the course
must be repeated. Prerequisite courses must be passed with a C or better
before subsequent courses may be taken. (For example, CSD majors must
make a C or better in CSD 411 Introduction to Audiology before they can
take CSD 471 Aural Rehabilitation. Other prerequisite courses are noted
in the
course listings.)
To be fully admitted to the program in the Junior year, the student
must:
• complete the required 60 hours for junior status,
• complete specified courses in Speech-Language Pathology (at least CSD
101, 253, and 291),
• maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or better.
Please review the requirements regarding admission to the
Junior Class,
Note: CSD courses are only available to
students who are declared CSD majors. CSD 101 is available to students who
may be considering declaring Speech-Language Pathology as their major and
are seeking more information about the profession.
Minors for Speech Pathology Majors
You are not required to declare a minor. However, the
university requires that you have completed 130
hours to graduate with a Bachelor’s of Science
degree. If you decide that you want to
declare a minor, please speak with your academic
advisor to discuss your options.

Certificate with endorsement in Speech-Language
Pathology may
