Communication disorders and sciences

The communication disorders and sciences program prepares you to understand, assess, and treat individuals who are experiencing challenges in speech, language, literacy, communication, cognition, and swallowing. Students learn to address these challenges across diverse ethnic, cultural, linguistic, social and economic backgrounds. We emphasize the ability to apply empirical evidence, logic, and a scientific perspective to the process of enhancing communication skills in meaningful and ecologically valid contexts.

The goals of the communication disorders and sciences program are based on the belief that the ability to communicate effectively is a fundamental right of all human beings. When this right is compromised, society suffers along with the individual.

For admission consideration, students from the Jordanian education system should have an average high school academic performance of at least 70 out of 100. If your secondary school uses a different grading scale, please contact us.

Students pursuing a degree in communication disorders and sciences are typically interested in pursuing graduate work in speech pathology or audiology. Some students pursue a graduate degree in areas like special education and early intervention, or work as a speech pathology assistant or in an allied field.
