The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework. Students may enter the program in the spring, summer or fall. Upon completion of the program, students progress into the second year of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

The Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders provides pre-professional training in speech-language pathology and audiology within a strong liberal arts framework. The program is designed to prepare students for graduate school in speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing science. In addition to preparing students for graduate education in audiology and speech-language pathology, a bachelor’s degree in communication disorders can lead to careers in a variety of other fields such as health care, education, science and public policy.
