The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) focuses on researching typical speech, language, and hearing development while also examining and treating related disorders. The SLHS undergraduate curriculum equips students for advanced studies in either Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology.
Speech-language pathologists specialize in identifying and treating communication disorders, while audiologists focus on hearing health, offering diagnostic services, hearing aid fittings, and rehabilitation for those with hearing loss. Both professionals play crucial roles in counseling individuals with communication challenges and their families.
The program provides foundational knowledge about typical and atypical communication patterns. This field may appeal to academically strong students interested in applying principles from biological, physical, and social sciences to evaluate and assist those with speech, language, or hearing impairments.
