<p>I was wondering, what are the main courses that goes a long with Speech and Hearing Sciences as a major?</p>
<p>I know it requires graduate school and internships, but is it generally considered a super difficult major? </p>
<p>I'm interested in sociology, psychology, teaching, and have always been interested in sign language and communicating (yes i know this major requires much more than learning the alphabet) and I figured that a career as a Speech Therapist might be a good way to earn a decent living while enjoying my job.</p>
<p>Sciences definitely aren't my best area.. I mean, if I apply myself and study i can get an A in the sciences that are more "fact and study" based such as Biology. Chemistry and physics are a challenge however.</p>
<p>Thanks tons for any answers!</p>
<p>These required courses for the majors at U Iowa and U Minnesota are pretty typical:
[UI</a> Communication Sciences and Disorders: undergraduate program](<a href=“http://www.uiowa.edu/~comsci/academics/undergrad.html#]UI”>http://www.uiowa.edu/~comsci/academics/undergrad.html#)</p>
<p>[Core</a> Curriculum : SLHS : University of Minnesota](<a href=“Undergraduate | Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences | College of Liberal Arts”>Undergraduate | Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences | College of Liberal Arts)</p>
<p>There usually are some supporting courses in core sciences required, and certain principles learned in those courses figure into some of the speech sand hearing sciences courses (e.g., physics topics such as acoustics will come into play for hearing disorders).</p>
<p>If you are interested in sign language, another field that might interest you is the special education area of deaf-education:

<p>A number of schools also offer a major in American Sign Language.</p>
