The Department offers academic programs in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.  Our mission is to teach students the principles and skills of these disciplines so that graduates will be prepared for further study.

The Department derives its strength from two sources: our faculty and our facilities.  Our experienced faculty members bring academic and professional expertise to their teaching and research.  For students pursuing studies in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, our off-campus, state-of-the-art Speech and Hearing Center offers hands-on clinical experience in providing diagnostic and treatment services to speech-language and hearing-impaired children and adults.

The Department offers a  Bachelor of Arts degree program as well as a minor in Speech-Language Pathology and two graduate programs, the Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology and the Doctor of Audiology.
