Introduction

The Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences offers an undergraduate major and minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences, a graduate Master's of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology and  PhD in Communication Science and Disorders. Undergraduate courses are available to non-majors and to non-degree students (students who have a bachelor's degree but have not been accepted into a graduate program).

The Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences is a pre-professional degree program which prepares students for graduate study in either Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. The undergraduate program offers a foundation for understanding normal and disordered communication across cultures. It fulfills entrance requirements for a graduate program in speech-language pathology or audiology. Professionals in these fields must earn certification and/or licensure, which requires a graduate degree in the field of specialization. The Master’s of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology is accredited by the Council on Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and prepares students to work as a speech-language pathologist.

Audiologists are professionals with doctoral degrees specializing in prevention, identification, and assessment of hearing impairment. They also provide habilitation and rehabilitation of persons with hearing loss and fit hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists are professionals with master’s or doctoral degrees who assess and treat communication and swallowing disorders such as stuttering, delayed language development, aphasia, voice disorders, and articulation problems. Audiologists and speech-language pathologists work in schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, research laboratories, government agencies, universities, and private practices.
