Brescia University is excited to announce an online option for their Bachelor’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders, or CSD, degree starting fall of 2024. Students will be able to complete their degree completely online, and complete practicums in their area. This program complements the University’s online Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, or SLP, program. Graduates of the CSD program will get preferred acceptance into the SLP online program.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job growth for Speech-Language Pathologist is expected to rise much faster than average at 19% growth. Those with a master’s degree in Speech-Language will have an advantage.
Shanda LaRue, Brescia University Executive Director of BUonline and Transfer Center, said “Brescia University is excited to play a role in providing remote pathways for students to complete their CSD degree while balancing family and work responsibilities. This pathway will also assist in filling the critical shortages in the speech language pathology field.”
The online courses are eight weeks and designed with the adult student in mind. The University gladly accepts transfer credits from other regionally accredited higher-learning institutions. Students can transfer a maximum of 67 credits from a community college and a maximum of 81 from a four-year college or university.
