Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders
The graduate program in Communicative Sciences and Disorders is uniquely designed to equip students with the experiences, knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their future careers. Our clinical supervisors are working as speech-language pathologists and provide countless opportunities for students to apply knowledge of communicative disorders learned in the classroom directly to real-world clinical life.
Our students learn both in the class and in the field, working in labs, clinics and hospitals and learning from experienced professionals in communicative sciences and disorders.
