Speech Sciences

The Speech Sciences program is designed to prepare students for graduate work in speech-language pathology or audiology. The program has an interdisciplinary structure administered by the Linguistics Department, with courses from Linguistics, Psychology, and the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences. You will study research methods, language structure, child development and language acquisition, anatomy and physiology, experimental psychology, and instrumental phonetics. Course work focuses on normal language; work on language disorders is not generally undertaken until the graduate program.
