Why is speech pathology so popular now?

Is it harder to get into the nursing program (bsn)or the speech pathology masters program?

• so i just dont see myself being very competitive in nursing, i have average of Bs in my science classes and i am thinking of changing my major to speech pathology because it seems easier in a way. So my question is. is it easier to get into the nursing program as an undergrad or the masters program for speech pathology? like what are the classes that are core for speech pathology? Thanks (the only reason i include masters is because i know thats the degree a speech pathologists needs to get in order to even get a job)

• Answer:

  I can't tell you which is harder to get into. Much depends on the institutions involved and your passion for the subject matter. See asha.org for more info on speech pathology and academic programs.
