Major in Preaudiology (BA/BS)

65-66 credits

Admission requirements

  • Completion of the major in preaudiology preparation does not guarantee admission to any Ball State post-baccalaureate program in audiology, nor to other graduate or professional audiology programs. Admission to such programs is usually competitive and typically requires submission of standardized test scores.
  • Although most students entering AuD programs will have completed a four-year undergraduate program, those with outstanding qualifications may be admitted after only three years. Students who have completed the undergraduate preaudiology preparation major requirements and who have been admitted to an AuD program may be able to use the credit earned in their first year of AuD professional courses to meet the senior-year course requirements for the baccalaureate degree from Ball State.
  • To enroll in SPAA 343 a student must apply and hold an overall GPA of 3.25 or better and have completed at least 30 semester credits. A student must also hold a GPA of 3.25 or better in SPAA courses and have completed at least 8 semester credits of SPAA courses. Students wishing to enroll in SPAA 343 should complete a permission request form and turn the form into the SPAA office by the end of the third week of the semester prior to the desired enrollment in SPAA 343.
  • To enroll in SPAA 345 a student must hold an overall GPA of 3.25 or better and have completed at least 33 semester credits. A student must also hold a GPA of 3.25 or better in SPAA courses and have completed at least 11 semester credits of SPAA courses.
