Degrees

The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf offers an Associate of Science Degree in Sign Language Studies, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Educational Interpreting, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology, with an emphasis in either Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology. These degrees provide the education and training necessary for individuals who wish to work in education, hospitals, clinics, governmental agencies, skilled nursing facilities, medical offices, and more.  The professions represented within the department seek to help children, youth, and adults with communication disabilities and differences that are either present at birth or acquired later in life. Curriculums rich in biological and social sciences in conjunction with rigorous departmental courses in evaluation, treatment, teaching, and research lead our graduates to gainful employment and diverse career opportunities.  The career path an individual takes will depend upon training and personal goals. Those who accept the challenge of these professions will find that the effort put forward to earn degrees will be rewarding.

Associate of Science Degree in Sign Language Studies
The Associate of Science Degree in Sign Language Studies is a two year degree which is primarily designed for students who wish to continue their education beyond the associate degree level in the Educational Interpreting Program or for students who wish to obtain an interim degree before entering another major.  The Sign Language Studies degree focuses on American Sign Language skills through academic courses and labs designed to provide a small group setting to facilitate instructor feedback and guidance.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Educational Interpreting
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Educational Interpreting is designed to prepare students for employment as interpreters in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educational programs. An associate degree in Sign Language Studies or its equivalent is required. Students are taught with a “hands on” approach as they learn about the Deaf culture, how to collaborate in a professional setting, and participate in field observations culminating with an interpreting internship.  Public and private education programs, local and state public health units, institutions such as the Idaho, Montana, and Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, and vocational rehabilitation agencies participate in affiliate service and training.  Internship sites may require record of vaccinations and a police background check.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology
The areas of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology have foundations grounded in basic communicative behavior.  Included in these degrees are the study of biological and social sciences, phonetics, acoustics, neurology, development of normal speech, language, and hearing abilities as well as deviations from normal communicative processes. Students are introduced to assessment and treatment procedures at the undergraduate level. The Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology is a pre-professional degree that prepares students to apply to graduate programs in either Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology.  The undergraduate program offers both clinical and non-clinical tracks. Students who wish to pursue a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology or a clinical doctorate in Audiology (AuD) are strongly encouraged to complete the clinical tract. 

ISU has the distinction of offering the bachelor’s degree with emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as the Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology, on both the Pocatello and Boise campuses. Many departmental classes are taught via distance learning technology, with clinical and academic faculty in both sites.  Students should note that admission to graduate programs is competitive.

The combined bachelor’s and master’s programs in Speech-Language Pathology, and the bachelor’s and clinical doctorate programs in Audiology are designed to prepare students to meet the academic and clinical requirements for the Idaho Department of Education Certificate for Speech-Language Pathologist or Audiologist, state licensing, and the Certificate of Clinical Competence issued by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA).  Both the graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology are accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation of ASHA. Additional information about the graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology can be found in the Graduate Catalog, Kasiska College of Health Professions, Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf.

Admission to Junior Level Classes
Prospective students are expected to have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better after completing 40 semester hours before registering for CSED 321 and/or CSED 330.  Interested students with GPA’s above 2.75 may petition the department chair to enroll in junior level courses through a letter and supporting documentation.

Junior Transfer Programs

The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf has cooperative agreements with Boise State University (BSU) and Albertson College of Idaho (ACI).  Limited  undergraduate seats in the program with emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology are available at the ISU Boise Center; three each are allocated to BSU and ACI.  The remaining seats are filled on a competitive basis.  It is strongly recommended that students interested in the Boise undergraduate program complete their general education requirements at BSU, ACI, or other accredited university before transferring to Idaho State University at the Boise Center. Junior transfer students may complete the requirements for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology within two years at ISU. January junior transfers may complete the program requirements in two and one half years. Students interested in the undergraduate program at the ISU Boise Center should contact the Center at (208) 373-1706 for additional information and applications.

Academic Standards
Each student is responsible for completing the required coursework in the proper sequential order.  Required prerequisite courses must be completed before the student can enroll in upper division departmental courses. Transfer students may submit petitions to the department for equivalent recognition of required courses.  Students must maintain a GPA of 2.25 and obtain a letter grade of “C” or better in departmental courses counting toward fulfillment of graduation requirements.  A grade of “D” in departmental courses will not be counted toward satisfaction of requirements for the major. All students must meet with their advisors each semester before a computer block will be removed to allow registration.

Practicum Standards
Students within the department may enroll in limited practicum activities as seniors. Specified departmental course requirements must be met before a student enrolls. 

Clinical Services
The ISU Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic on the Pocatello Campus and the Speech and Language Clinic on the Boise Center Campus offer a variety of clinical training opportunities for students while providing valuable services to the community.  Among our audiological services offered at the Pocatello campus are complete audiological and vestibular testing, hearing aid evaluation, auditory training, aural habilitation and rehabilitation, including services for individuals with cochlear implants.  The Speech and Language Clinics in Pocatello and Boise offer evaluation and treatment of speech, language, stuttering, voice, alternative and augmentative communication, and speech-language problems associated with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, mental retardation, autism, cleft palate, and stroke. Clients served in our clinics range in age from infancy to adulthood and all clinical services are provided by experienced students under the direction of ASHA certified clinical faculty.

Master of Science Degree in Deaf Education
Undergraduate students interested in obtaining a Master of Science Degree in Deaf Education degree should check the undergraduate catalog under the Department of Education for information regarding teacher education programs. Upon completion of a bachelor’s degree, the individual may then apply to the graduate program to meet the state’s criteria for Teacher Certification: Deaf Education.  Additional information about this degree can be found in the Graduate Catalog, Kasiska College of Health Professions, Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders, and Education of the Deaf. Accredited by the National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Master of Science degree in Deaf Education also meets the requirements for training in the state of Idaho and other states in the region through reciprocal agreements.  This degree provides future Deaf educators with the tools to work with Deaf and hard of hearing students in elementary and secondary education.
