Idaho State University Dual Degree Program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (BA/BS)
The College of Idaho dual degree program in communication sciences and disorders is a collaborative effort with Idaho State University (ISU). Under ordinary circumstances, students will attend The College of Idaho for three years, and then enter Idaho State University's Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology program for the subsequent two years. When students have successfully completed the ISU program, they will receive a Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders, with an emphasis in either Pre-Audiology or Pre-Speech-Language Pathology, from Idaho State University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree from The College of Idaho.
Entrance into the Idaho State University program is competitive. Idaho State University has offered up to three admission seats to College of Idaho students each year, but it is possible that more than three College of Idaho students will apply. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in all prerequisite courses.
During their coursework at The College of Idaho, students will be required to complete 93 credits, including the following prerequisite courses for the ISU Communication Sciences and Disorders program. The ISU professional program along with the prerequisite courses will count for the Professional Foundations and Enhancements minor. Please note that ISU only accepts a maximum of 8 credits in religion; therefore, the Religious Studies minor is not a viable option to fulfill the Humanities & Fine Arts PEAK.
