Communication Science and Disorders
Communication science and disorders includes the related, but distinct, fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. Speech-language pathologists diagnose and treat disorders such as delayed language development, stuttering and voice and articulation problems. Audiologists specialize in prevention, assessment and rehabilitation of hearing disorders in individuals and may participate in hearing conservation programs.
Employers include schools, hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, government agencies, private practices, colleges and universities.
Consider this program if you:
- Desire to explore trends in human communication and its disorders
- Would like to help people with speech or hearing problems
Students have two years of prerequisites and two years of professional classes for the bachelor's. An additional two years are required for the master's in speech-language pathology. A PhD in communication science and disorders is also available.
