BACHELOR O F ARTS IN SPEECH AND HEARING SCIENCE, URBANA (13) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended authorization of a curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Speech and Hearing Science. The proposed curriculum will provide students with a type of training that will qualify them to undertake graduate work for later service as investigators and teachers in the areas of speech and hearing science. The program is intended for the student whose interests are in research and teaching in such areas as experimental phonetics, the physiological aspects of speech, and the psycho-acoustics of audition. Such individuals are in short supply, and one of the major reasons is lack of preparation in the biological sciences, mathematics, and psychology. This curriculum has been designed to overcome such deficiencies. The curriculum has been approved by the Department of Speech and the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved.
