SLP Physical Science Prereq

[plume]

ASHA's guidelines on the physical science prerequisite are pretty open to interpretation it seems, as long as the class is physics or chemistry. Does anyone know if I can take a conceptual physics course to meet this? I know it is dependent on each school, but I am wondering if anyone has experience with this. Thanks!

It definitely depends on the school BUT I know you can appeal it, if you take the course, and the school doesn't accept it. 

 

I took the 'physics of speech and sound' and some of the schools (I think 3) wouldn't accept this but I appealed to admissions and they said it was fine. So I haven't had a problem. At my undergrad institution they took 'physics of chocolate' and it was accepted.

Oh hi! Wow, it sounds like it could go either way! Ugh, I just want to take conceptual physics.... thanks for the advice!

I'd do it! Worse case scenario you have to take a basic physics course with a physics background, you know?

I am late on this BUT just wanted to share in case anyone is looking for a Chemistry class. Shasta College has an online Chem for NON-science majors that I took last year and it was breeze! The professor was amazing and I actually enjoyed the class. Never thought I would say that about Chem lol.
