The Curriculum Overview
As a future audiologist, I am extremely interested in how the curriculum plays a role in pursuing a career in audiology. Technology plays a huge role in how society is shaped because of all the new advancements and information it proposes. Just like the rest of the world, the field of Communicative Sciences and Disorders is dependent on technological innovation. With this being said, the curriculum of Audiology should include a more variety of courses to prepare future Audiologist to be the best we can be.

I have reviewed the four-year plan that the Communicative Sciences and Disorders department has put together to make sure that each student is reaching the requirements put in place to achieve excellence in the major (“Undergraduate Major”). After reviewing the four year plan, I came to conclusion that there was only one additional public speaking class (other than the general education requirement) required to meet the standards for this major. One speaking class will only fulfill the basic communication skills needed to work in the health care field.
