A child struggling with language delays. A teenager facing stuttering challenges. A mother adapting to significant hearing loss. A grandfather working to recover speech after a stroke. Each depends on the specialized skills of speech-language pathologists and audiologists to diagnose, assess, and address their communication difficulties. Through direct entry into the speech pathology and audiology program, you'll start your core coursework immediately in your first semester and complete your degree in four years. Marquette's speech pathology and audiology program provides the essential academic foundation to eventually fulfill the certification standards set by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Under the guidance of certified, licensed faculty members, you'll gain hands-on experience at the Marquette University Speech and Hearing Clinic, treating both children and adults with speech, language, or hearing impairments—an opportunity rarely available to undergraduate students. Collaborate with professors engaged in groundbreaking research, whether studying childhood language development or helping adults rebuild communication abilities affected by traumatic brain injuries or strokes.
