Our doctoral program cultivates researchers deeply rooted in scientific principles, with comprehensive expertise in speech, language, and hearing sciences. The three-year Ph.D. in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) at UConn's Storrs campus combines rigorous academic coursework with hands-on clinical training, all approached through theoretical and experimental frameworks.
We invite potential applicants to explore our faculty listings and reach out to professors whose research aligns with their academic goals.
