BI 305 BEHAVIORAL NEUROBIOLOGY 3.0 Credit(s)
This course explores the neural basis of behaviors that animals perform in natural settings. The mechanisms studied underlie specialized behaviors such as the detection of prey, attraction of mates, orientation, and other adaptive behaviors. The animal model systems described demonstrate how neural substrates of behavior can be highly specialized to solve problems encountered in an animal's particular environmental niche. These model systems also provide insights into the organization of similar sensory and motor systems in humans. Three hours of lecture. Prerequisite: Take BI-111, BI-113, BI-112, BI-114
Offered: Spring Semester Odd Academic Years

SLP 400 INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS 3.0 Credit(s)
This course provides a general introduction at the graduate level to normal and disordered speech, language, and hearing in children and adults. It reviews normal development of communication behavior, the nature of communication disorders, and addresses the various conditions associated with communication disorders. Ethical standards for the practice of speech-language pathology, contemporary professional issues, and information regarding certification, specialty recognition, licensure, and professional credentials in speech-language pathology will be presented. Lecture/discussion format.

SLP 410 PHONETICS 3.0 Credit(s)
Students will be provide with graduate level information on the articulatory properties of the sound systems of human languages. The International Phonetic Alphabet will be presented, and students will learn to record speech in broad phonemic transcription. Variations among regional and cultural US dialects, as well as notation and practice of narrow phonetic transcription will be introduced.

SLP 412 INTRODUCTION TO AUDIOLOGY AND HEARING SCIENCE 3.0 Credit(s)
This graduate course presents an introduction to the psychophysics of sound, the anatomy and physiology of the hearing mechanism, and the practice of audiology. It covers the common pathologies of the auditory system, impact of hearing loss, types and characteristics of hearing impairment, conventional procedures used to assess hearing, interpretation of audiological test findings, and criteria for initiating audiological referrals. Issues of ethics, professional practice, licensing, and credentials for audiology practice will be reviewed. Lab/lecture format. Prerequisite: Take 1 Biology Course
