hibs Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi everyone! I will be applying to grad programs in the fall/spring and I am currently doing post bac at Utah State. I took chem 1 and 2 during my first bachelors and I got Cs in both classes. I know ASHA requires a physical science course as a prerequisite for grad school, and I was wondering if it would be worth it to retake chem 1 in order to hopefully get an A or a B. Also, does ASHA only require one semester of physical sciences? Thank y'all so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechiegoals Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi! I don't think that'll be necessary, as some of the grad schools I looked into today only want a C or higher, I think most of the emphasis will be on your major coursework. Yes, they only want one semester. I'm also a student at USU and here's an email I got this week: "Acceptable courses in BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES should emphasize a content area related to human or animal sciences (eg, biology, human anatomy & physiology, neuroanatomy & neurophysiology, human genetics, veterinary science). [online options at USU: BIOL 1010-usually offered every sem online. or they can go to course search and find a BLS course--most should work & fit under bioscience or cellular biology] Acceptable courses in PHYSICAL SCIENCES should include physics or chemistry. [online options at USU: CHEM 1010, PHYS 3020, PHYS 3030-usually offered every sem online] Acceptable courses in SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES should include psychology, sociology, anthropology, or public health.[online options at USU: PSY 1010, PSY 1110, HDFS 1500] Research methodology courses in COMD may not be used to satisfy the STATISTICS requirement [online options at USU: STAT 1040, STAT 1045 (has elements of algebra)]. Courses in biological & physical sciences specifically related to COMD may not be applied for certification purposes to this category unless the course fulfills a univ requirement in one of these areas." -ASHA standards, pg 2 & 3 These courses do NOT need to be part of the last 60 credits for grad school (At USU anyway; we just look for completion w/a passing grade). Call ASHA directly w/questions at 800.638.8255. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCali Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The ASHA course requirements can be taken for credit/no credit so I don’t think a C is going to be problematic. speechiegoals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
