Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences

About

Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) is an interdisciplinary field with its roots in psychology, physiology, physics, music, linguistics, and education. The program integrates these diverse influences through faculty scholarship, research, student education and clinical services. An SLHS major provides students with opportunities for study in the areas of speech-language pathology, audiology, and the normal aspects of speech, hearing, and language. The coursework is designed to foster development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills and enhances students' ability to evaluate scientific information. Students have opportunities to participate in experiential activities such as research labs and clinical observation in on-site clinics. Our undergraduate degree provides an excellent foundation for a broad range of career paths, including communication sciences, health care, and education. Students are also well prepared to pursue advanced degrees, such as Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, Doctor of Audiology, or Doctor of Philosophy.
