Community College students are strongly encouraged to complete one semester of college level math beyond algebra. The suggested WSU course is STA 1020 and the OCC equivalent course is MAT 153. This satisfies a requirement for Clinical Certification by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.

Students are also strongly encouraged to follow the above science course selections. One course in each of the following subject areas will satisfy the science requirements for the ASHA. These subject areas are: Physics (PS), Biology (LS) and Psychology (third science). Only one of these courses needs an accompanying lab component and students may choose to take a lab with Biology OR Physics.
