37 CSAD2B

38 CSAD 2B Audience The program is designed for individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than Speech Pathology and Audiology or Communication Sciences and Disorders or Communicative Disorders. The 16 month format is ideal for those that wish to make a career change. Participants will complete 46 units in lecture, laboratory and clinical coursework. Upon completion of the program, participants will earn a Bachelor of Science and be eligible to apply for California Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) Licensure and to apply and compete for enrollment in the Sacramento State Master of Science in Speech Pathology program, or any other Speech Pathology or Communication Disorders program for which this equivalency is accepted.

39 Structure Participants will complete 46 units in lecture, laboratory and clinical coursework. Courses are offered as face-to-face instruction at the Sacramento State campus. Students will complete lab/skills and clinical courses utilizing face-to-face traditional teaching strategies for skills labs and direct-client contact experiences.

As a CCE student they do not have access to The Well as a campus student does since CCE fees do not cover The Well. If they would like access to The Well, they would need to join as a Sac State affiliate and pay a $33 monthly fee. As a student with a One Card, I believe they can be seen at the medical center but must be referred out to another doctor or specialist.

42 Credit for Previous CourseworkOccasionally, students have been given credit for equivalent coursework that has been previously passed, based on faculty review of syllabi. Contact Dr. Pieretti if you feel you have taken a previous course that is equivalent to a CSAD2B course. Students must earn a minimum of 30 units at Sacramento State to earn the Second Bachelor’s Degree
