Program Overview

The University of Kansas's Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) in Speech-Language-Hearing (SPLH) programs provide a comprehensive understanding of human communication, preparing students for careers in speech, language, or hearing. The programs emphasize coursework, clinical observation, and hands-on projects, and offer an honors program for exceptional students. While a BA or BGS in SPLH does not qualify students to practice as speech-language pathologists, it serves as a valuable stepping stone towards further study in the field.
