What exactly is the Summer Prerequisite Bridge Program?
The Summer Prerequisite Bridge Program offers undergraduate courses in Speech and Hearing Science that are typically required for admission into graduate programs in audiology and speech-language pathology.
If you plan to use OSU summer bridge program credits for programs other than OSU, check with those programs to ensure they accept OSU credits.
Students may choose to enroll in up to five courses during a single summer session depending on individual needs.
Why should I consider this program?
