At the undergraduate level there is usually very little difference. It really depends on how the school wants to market the program. My major used to be called speech pathology/audiology and now they call it communication disorders. Still, some schools will explore certain aspects of the field more than others so make sure to read through the classes offered and required. Good luck.

An audiologist tests your hearing...
A speach pathologist teaches you how to speak correctly and help you re-learn if you've forgotten due to an injury.
