The bachelor’s degree is considered a pre-professional degree. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree typically apply for advanced graduate study. Individuals holding a bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders may also apply to professional doctoral programs in audiology. In the State of Washington, individuals with a bachelor’s degree can be employed as speech-language pathology assistants.
Students with a BA in Communication Sciences and Disorders will be able to do the following:
Describe the typical processes of speech
Describe the typical processes of language
Describe the typical processes of hearing
Describe the typical process of swallowing
Demonstrate basic knowledge of speech-language pathology assessment
Demonstrate basic knowledge of hearing disorders assessment
Demonstrate basic knowledge of speech-language pathology treatment

Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 2.75, complete secondary application for admission. The undergraduate Communication Sciences and Disorders (CMSD) program is designed to start in the fall semester, following the completion of the university’s general education requirements (GERs), graduation requirements, and supporting courses. In total, students must complete a minimum of 102 quarter credits before beginning the CMSD program.
World Language Requirement: Two years of a single high school world language or one year of a single college-level world language is required.
Students must earn and maintain an overall EWU institutional grade point average ≥2.75 as well as a grade point average ≥2.75 in all CMSD coursework to be retained in the program.
If a student’s total EWU institutional GPA falls below 2.75 in a single semester, the student is placed on academic probation and has one semester to raise their GPA to ≥2.75 or they are dismissed from the program.
To graduate with the BA degree, the student must earn a grade ≥C- in each of the courses within the major.
Earning a grade <C- for any given course requires that the student repeat the course. If the course is a prerequisite for a higher-level course, the student is not allowed to enroll in the higher-level course until a grade ≥C- has been earned in the prerequisite course.
