Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology should initially enroll in the College of Arts and Sciences to complete the General Education Core curriculum and other specific requirements during their first two years of study. Upon completion of at least 54 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.6, the student should apply to the Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology, School of Medicine, by filing a College and Curriculum Transfer Request form. This form may be filed at any time except during registration periods. For students applying after completion of more than 54 credit hours, the minimum required GPA would be increased. Students in any UH community college should obtain program outlines from the Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology to familiarize themselves with the pre-SPA requirements so they can complete them during their first two years. Additional information and regulations can be found in the University Catalog and the On-Line Course Listings provided by the University of Hawaii.
