## ##   * Overview
  * Program Requirements
  * Plan of Study
The Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Speech-Language Pathology and
Audiology curriculum is designed to facilitate critical thinking, information
literacy, and oral and written communication skills. In addition to courses in
the basic communication sciences and disorders, courses in education, allied
health, computer literacy, ethics, multicultural/diversity issues, and
psychology are required. Students in the major study the collection,
manipulation, storage, retrieval, and computational analysis of data in its
various forms including numeric, textual, image, and video data from small to
large volumes. The coursework covers exploratory data analysis, data
manipulation in a variety of programming languages, large-scale data storage,
predictive analytics, machine learning, data mining, and information
visualization and presentation. These areas of study are of particular
relevance in the field of speech-language pathology and audiology due to the
continued development and use of assistive technology and artificial
intelligence for individuals with communication disorders.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete
any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified
and complete any additional courses needed beyond specific college and major
requirements to satisfy graduation credit requirements.
