At its meeting on September 7, 2012, the Senate Committee on Programs, Curricula, and
Courses approved your proposal to modify the curriculum of the Bachelor of Arts in Hearing and
Speech Sciences. A copy of the approved proposal is attached.
The change is effective Spring 2013, The College should ensure that the change is fully
described in the Undergraduate Catalog and in all relevant descriptive materials, including the
program's four-year plan (contact Lisa Kiely at lkiely@umd.edu for more information), and that
all advisors are informed.

Summary of Proposed Action:
Due to the changes in the Undergraduate CORE requirements as well as changes instituted by the
American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) which certifies our students once they
complete their Graduate degree, we would like to make some minor changes to our curriculum.
1. HESP Supporting Courses (Area 1 and Area 2): We have simply updated our list to reflect changes
that have occurred since they were instituted. Many of the courses on our current list are either no longer
offered, have been changed to "Major Only" courses, or no longer fit into the categories described. The
old and new course lists are included in the information packet being emailed.
2. Because the University's new General Education Requirements does not specify any particular type of
"Natural Science" and because the American Speech Language and Hearing Association state in their
certification standards:
"applicants must have course work in life sciences which could include biology, general
anatomy and physiology, neuro-anatomy and neurophysiology, or genetics. Course
work in physical sciences could include, among others, physics and chemistry. "
The HESP department would like to require our students to take PHYS 102 and 103: Physics of Music as
one of their "Natural Science" requirements. We have contacted Dr. Richard Ellis, Associate Chair of
Undergraduate Education in Physics and he has provided a letter of support for this change. This course
would also complete the Lab requirement in the Natural Science category. We also would like to require
that our students take a life science course that is based on the biology of the human system and not plants
or insects. Our proposal with documentation is included in the information packet being emailed. Transfer
students who have not had a Physics or Chemistry course will be required to take PHYS 1021103 prior to
taking HESP 407 (Hearing Science).
3. Currently the HESP Major requires students to have Math at the 110 level. Since we are the only major
in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences that still uses that level as their minimum requirement
and because several of the prerequisites for our Statistics requirement require students to have a higher
level math, we would like to raise our Math requirement to the more advanced level. This would mean
that HESP majors must have MATHIII or higher (based on the Mathematics department Math
Placement Scale). This would allow more of our students to take PSYC200 or BIOM30 1 as well as
EDMS451 for their Statistics requirement.
4. Based on the recommendations of the External Review of the HESP Department during the Fall 2010
semester, Dean John Townshend requested that the HESP Undergraduate Major be decreased by 6 credits
(from 39 credits to 33 credits) immediately. In order to comply with this request, beginning with the
Spring 2011 semester the following change was made. Where students were previously required to take
two courses from the "Disorders" courses (HESP402, 404, 406, or 410) and two courses from the list of
approved HESP electives, they are now only required to take one from each category.
5. Currently the HESP Department requires our majors to take one "advanced" statistics course. Our
students have an option of taking EDMS451 , PSYC200, BIOM301 or SOCY201. For the past several
years students attempting to take SOCY201 have been told that the class is a "By departmental
permission only" and even if you are on Testudo waitlist, there is a written waitlist that is held in the
Sociology Department that is used to admit their own majors before anyone else. After reviewing the files
for the last three years of HESP graduates, only two students have been able to take SOCY201. This is
frustrating to the students and the academic advisor. The HESP Department would like to remove
SOCY201 as a statistics option for our majors. If a student should change their major from SOCY to
HESP and already have SOCY20 J, or if a transfer student would bring in a SOCY20 I transfer class, we
would be happy to accept it as an exception.

2005 Standards and Implementation Procedures for the
Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology
Revised March 2009
Standard III-A: The applicant must have prerequisite knowledge of the biological sciences, physical
sciences, mathematics, and the social/behavioral sciences.
Implementation:
The applicant must demonstrate through transcript credit (which could include course work, advanced
placement, CLEP, or exammation of eqUivalency) for each of the following areas: biological sciences, physical
sciences, mathematics, and the social/behavioral sciences. Appropriate course work in biological sciences could
inclUde, among others, biology, general anatomy and physiology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, and
genetics. Course work in physical sciences could include, among others, physics and chemistry. Course work in
behavioral sciences could include, among others, psychology, sociology, and cultural anthropology. Course work
in math could include, among others, statistics and non-remedial mathematics. The intent of this standard is to
require students to have a broad liberal arts and science background. Courses in biological and physical
sciences specifically related to communication sciences and disorders (CSD) cannot be applied for certification
purposes in this category. Methodology courses, such as methods of teaching mathematics, may not be used to
satisfy the mathematics requirement. In addition to transcript credit, applicants may be required by their
graduate program to provide further evidence of meeting this requirement.
Recommendation: HESP Dept keep the requirement of IHfe science and 1 physical
science and require students to take PHYS 102/103 as their physical science.
• HESP students take PHYS 102 Physics of Music and 103 (Lab) to meet Physical Science and Lab
requirement
• HESP students will be required to choose a Life Science that studies the human system rather than
plants, animals, or insects.
TRANSFER STUDENTS:
If they have NOT completed a Physics or Chemistry courses prior to coming to UMD, transfer students
will be required to take PHYS 102/1 03 prior to enrolling in HESP407 (Hearing Science).

Dear Dr. Ratner,
This letter is to support your department's plan to include PHYS 102/103 (The Physics of
Music) as a requirement for your majors. We feel this is an excellent fit for both
departments. Please let us know which semester you would start this so we can prepare.
We do note that additional TA resources may be required, depending on the number of
your majors who emoil in the course.
Sincerely,

From ASHA Certification Standards for SLP
Course work in math could include, among others, statistics and non-remedial mathematics. The intent of this standard is to
require students to have a broad liberal arts and science background. Courses in biological and physical sciences specifically
related to communication sciences and disorders (CSD) cannot be applied for certification purposes in this category.
Methodology courses, such as methods of teaching mathematics, may not be used to satisfY the mathematics requirement. In
addition to transcript credit, applicants may be required by their graduate program to provide further evidence of meeting this
requirement.
From HESP Handbook for Graduate Programs in Hearing and Speech Sciences: Clinical Audiology: General pre-requisites.
Any student who has not taken a course in statistics at the undergraduate level must complete a course in their graduate
program, prior to enrolling in graduate-level statistics courses required for the degree. Students should note that courses for
which only a portion of the semester was devoted to statistics are not acceptable. Additionally, students must have completed
undergraduate coursework in the areas of life sciences, physical sciences, behavioral sciences, and mathematics beyond
college algebra. At least one three-credit course in each of these areas must be completed for an applicant to be eligible for
ASHA certification. Students must also demonstrate completion of relevant coursework in the areas of oral and written
communication.

Re: Request to raise minimum Math requirement from Math 110 to Math 111
Dear Kate, the Department of Mathematics understands your proposal to raise the minimum mathematics requirement
for Hearing and Speech Majors from MATH 110 to MATHll1, and will have no problem accommodating any enrollment
changes that arise from it. Good luck with your proposal.

Looks like a good first step. The other two steps in outline I will need are
a) what resources will be freed up by doing less and
b) what use will be made ofthese freed-up resources in strengthening other parts of your program.

John, Wayne, Kathy: our UG revision committee has looked at the College majors and determined that
their credit requirements are those listed on the attachment (which, if they understood their charge
correctly, lists only those credits that must be taken INSIDE the dept).
HESP currently requires 39; AASP also requires this number and has an even more credit intensive
option, but you are correct that most programs do require fewer credits. Accordingly, the Committee
will take as its goal a major with no more than 33 required credits, a reduction of two courses. We may
be able to reduce even further: Crim and Anthro require 30 and 31, respectively. All others require from
33-38.
Kathy, please let me know if these numbers don't look right. We are obviously anxious to get moving on
this task, especia lIy because 'it is a requirement of our anticipated search :-) that we move towards more
efficient use of our faculty resources.
best regards,
Nan

Total Credits: 45
Transition plans for proposed HESP changes: 1. Change in Supporting Courses: Relatively no transition, since students have always been able to petition the advisor to substitute a class that was not on the list. This just updates the recommended lists for Degree Navigator. 2. Change in Science requirement: Beginning Spring 2013 all new HESP majors will be required to take PHYS102‐103 (see exception for transfer students who come in with a Chemistry or Physics course) and a Biological Science course which studies the biology of humans. 3. Change in Math Requirement: Beginning Spring 2013, all new HESP majors will be required to have Math at the 111 level or higher. This would include STAT100, MATH115, MATH130, MATH140, or MATH220. The only exclusion is MATH113. 4. Change in Major Requirement: Relatively no transition, since students will still be allowed to take courses in the Disorders and Elective categories, they just will only be required to take 1 in each area. It will allow more of our students to complete minors and also will really help our transfer students complete their degree in 2 years. Addendum: Item #5
5. Currently the HESP Department requires our majors to take one “advanced” statistics course.
Our students have an option of taking EDMS451, PSYC200, BIOM301 or SOCY201. For the
past several years students attempting to take SOCY201 have been told that the class is a “By
departmental permission only” and even if you are on Testudo waitlist, there is a written waitlist
that is held in the Sociology Department that is used to admit their own majors before anyone
else. After reviewing the files for the last three years of HESP graduates, only two students have
been able to take SOCY201. This is frustrating to the students and the academic advisor. The
HESP Department would like to remove SOCY201 as a statistics option for our majors. If a
student should change their major from SOCY to HESP and already have SOCY201, or if a
transfer student would bring in a SOCY201 transfer class, we would be happy to accept it as an
exception.
