Hi,

I told you to post here in hopes that a couple of posters that I know have looked into this at Bama will answer.

I don’t think either of them are old enough to have graduated yet, but they may be able to shed some light on your questions.

I know that the CD majors are accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

According to that link above, accreditation is excellent, Praxis pass rate is excellent (last year 100% passed), and job placement is 100%.

That said, while I personally don’t know about that major in particular, I can tell you that Bama graduates do not have problems with other schools respecting their degrees and accepting them into their grad schools. My older son graduated from Bama last May and he was accepted into every PhD program that he applied to.

This forum’s popularity has been in the last couple of years so its members mostly consist of parents of current students or actual undergrads. The few alums that post here mostly graduated a number of years ago and not in that major.

Have you asked any of the dept people about where their undergrads have gone onto grad school?
