Program Description
The graduate program in speech and hearing
sciences has a long history of excellence in
graduate education. Graduates in our
speech-language pathology program gain practical
experience working with those who have hearing,
speech, language, or swallowing impairments. Ages
of clients range from infants, toddlers and
preschoolers through adulthood. Students gain
experience in our on-campus hearing and speech
clinic, public schools, birth-to-five preschool
programs, hospitals, nursing homes,
rehabilitation centers, ENT clinics, and private

prepares professional personnel to meet the
diagnostic and therapy needs of these

The focus of the program is on preparing
speech-language pathologists who are capable of
working in several settings with various types of
disorders and clients of various ages. Students
also have the opportunity to work with well-known
scholars active in current research and creative
developments. Students who are not fluent in
English should read the department’s
statement on English proficiency.
Our speech-language pathology program is
accredited nationally by the Council on Academic
Accreditation (ACC) and certified by the
