About the Online Courses in Speech Pathology and Audiology
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Hawai'i offers through the Outreach College online coursework for students who are interested in applying for graduate study in speech pathology or audiology. Coursework is offered within the Prerequisite Certification Program (PCP). Online pre-speech pathology coursework is sometimes also referred to with other terminology, such as a communication sciences and disorders (CSD) "post-baccalaureate" or a "pre-speech language pathology (SLP) program. The complete Prerequisite Certification Program (PCP) curriculum at the University of Hawai'i includes the following seven required online courses plus one elective course:
The entire online 7- course sequence (2019-2020 brochure) provides a complete communication sciences and disorders (CSD) foundation for students who are interested in applying to graduate programs in speech pathology in the United States. Students completing the 7 courses with at least a B- grade receive a certificate from the University of Hawaii.
It's important to point out that interested students may decide to enroll in selected individual courses without completing the full 7-course curriculum. For example, a student who plans on applying to Doctor of Audiology programs to pursue a career in audiology might elect to take our online courses that are usually required in a "pre-audiology" curriculum, such as CSD 437 (Introduction of Audiometry and Auditory Disorders) and CSD 433 (Speech and Language Development) to supplement other non-CSD courses a typical pre-audiology curriculum, including courses in physical and behavioral sciences, that the student completes on campus at any university.
How Does Online Education Work?
Online courses and degree programs were first introduced about 20 years ago. Now online education is widely accepted as a convenient, cost-effective, and legitimate method for undergraduate and even graduate study in many disciplines from business to teaching to the health professions. A variety of terms and phrases are used for online courses like those in our prerequisite certification program in communicative sciences and disorders including: speech pathology courses online, pre-SLP program, communicative disorders leveling program, speech-language pathology requisite bridge (to graduate) program, post baccalaureate (after bachelor's degree) online speech pathology program, communicative disorders online prerequisite series, speech pathology prerequisites program, online pre-professional speech language pathology certificate program, and online pre-Master's speech pathology track.
Online speech pathology and audiology courses in the PCP at the University of Hawai'i are taught using a common online platform (e.g., Google Classroom). Any student with access to the internet can complete all online course requirements like readings, assignments, class discussions, and quizzes anytime day or night in any time zone. Many students enrolled in the PCP are fulltime or part-time working professionals, such school teachers, nurses, or they are health care technicians. Other students in the online speech pathology courses at the University of Hawai'i are enrolled in a non-CSD undergraduate program.
Who Should Enroll in Online PCP Courses?
Students who have completed the PCP program or selected courses in the curriculum come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, including teaching, nursing, linguistics, and different non-CSD undergraduate majors. Graduates of the program are also from many geographical locations in the USA from the east coast to Hawaii, and even from a variety of other countries.
