BA in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education in Logan United States | Utah State University

A bachelor's degree in communicative disorders and deaf education serves as a foundational program for students aiming to pursue advanced studies in speech-language pathology or clinical/educational audiology. At USU, participants select either speech-language pathology or audiology as their specialization.
Speech-language pathologists assist people across all age groups facing challenges with communication, feeding, or swallowing. Their clients range from infants with feeding issues to children experiencing speech, language, hearing, or literacy difficulties, as well as individuals who stutter, have voice disorders, or experience communication and swallowing impairments due to neurological conditions or stroke.
Audiologists specialize in assessing and treating individuals with hearing-related differences. Their responsibilities include conducting hearing tests, fitting hearing aids, programming cochlear implants, and offering rehabilitation services for hearing loss.
Completion of all major coursework leads to a BS degree, while earning a BA additionally requires demonstrating proficiency in one or more foreign languages.
