The School of Communication Science & Disorders primarily aims to educate future speech-language pathologists and audiologists in delivering clinical care for those with speech, language, and hearing challenges. The undergraduate program provides foundational knowledge about human communication disorders, covering topics like speech and hearing anatomy, sound perception, language development, English phonetics, neurological foundations of communication, and assessment techniques. This bachelor's degree also serves as preparatory training for advanced studies in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The core professional training and clinical practice take place at the graduate level, where students pursue either a master's in speech-language pathology or a clinical doctorate in audiology—the minimum requirements for professional certification. Nearly all states require licensure for these practitioners. Beyond clinical work, career paths include research, teaching, or managing programs within the field, which currently faces workforce shortages.
