Anyone interested in careers in speech, language and hearing sciences could benefit from the 黑料正能量 Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) degree with a major in Communication Sciences and Disorders. The degree serves as the stepping-stone to graduate studies in audiology, speech-language pathology and doctoral-level education in research in these areas. This BHS provides the foundation necessary for students planning to pursue clinical graduate education and find a rewarding career in speech-language pathology or audiology.
