SLP Program Prereq's


Recommended Posts

Just wondering, when programs require a class in the physical sciences (such as physics), do they accept conceptual physics as an equivalent? Also, what are most program's stances on community college coursework? I took intro to statistics, gen chem I, and intro to sociology at community college and I would hate to take them over again. I understand programs have their own particular methods and requirements but if some people could give me their opinions then that would be great.

I took a conceptual Physics class for my Respiratory Therapy degree but am now having to take a Physics of Music w/ lab class as part of my CD required classes. As far as intro to statistics or intro to sociology I'm not sure. I had to take an actual Statistics class for my school (CSUN) but I took it at my previous community college. As far as Sociology, I took Sociology 1 at my community college - I don't remember if an "intro" class was offered, but this class was pretty much an introductory class, if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

The physical science requirement was listed as either a general chemistry or physics according to the ASHA 2014 standards.

 

All the schools I'm applying said these ASHA prerequisites have to be a B or better and they can be also taken from a community college or university level. You seemed to have fulfilled the requirement with your gen chem 1. HOWEVER, it's the graduate school's final decision if a course also meets the physical science requirement.

 

For now, maybe it's best to send the course outline to your prospective school program coordinators to confirm if it matches with they need.

Do you happen to know if this holds true for the intro to stats/Sociology classes as well?

 

My schools are very specific about the content for statistics (parametric and non-parametric tests, not a research methods course). I took a lot of psych courses which covered my behavioural sciences requirements.
