Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Audiology/Speech-Language Pathology] From University of North Texas

An audiologist assesses and treats people with hearing and balance disorders, while a speech-language pathologist works with those who have communication disorders. Professionals in both areas work with diverse populations in:

• Clinics

• Colleges and universities

• Government agencies

• Hospitals

• Industry and business

• Private practice

• Public schools

A master’s degree is required to be a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist, and a clinical doctorate is required to be a licensed audiologist.
This is a growing career field because of the rising elderly population, greater emphasis placed on early detection of communication disorders, increasing concern about occupational hearing loss and rapid advances in technology.
