Welcome to the Spanish-Speech and Hearing Science Major at OSU!
The Spanish-Speech & Hearing Science Double Major at Ohio State combines two strong programs, one in the Humanities (Spanish) and the other in Social & Behavioral Sciences (Speech & Hearing Science), to prepare the best candidates in the country for graduate programs in Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology.
The objective is to develop substantial language proficiency and knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures, through Department of Spanish & Portuguese coursework and through a two-semester junior year abroad at an OSU-approved education abroad program.
During this year, students will complete Spanish major coursework and volunteer in a speech and hearing clinic, with the goal of learning something about appropriate clinical interactions with families and patients in Spanish. Further, students will complete the Ohio State Department of Speech & Hearing Science undergraduate major, which includes the prerequisite courses for ASHA-accredited graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology.
For more information on each specific major, see the Department of Speech and Hearing Science and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese websites.
See our Plan of Study for a sample 4 year academic plan, including a year abroad.
