Venue description

Graduate study in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is based on the premise that disorders of human communication are best understood once the student has acquired a thorough knowledge of the basic science of cognition and communication. As such, information from such fields as anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, psychology, psychoacoustics, medicine, linguistics, and education is fundamental to the student's academic, research, and clinical programs. Students interested in earning a PhD degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders should contact the Department office or the Department's Director of Graduate Studies for information on core, tool and correlative area course requirements, seminars requirements, a directed teaching requirement, and all pre-candidacy research requirements. The PhD degree integrates the interests of students and faculty across the department, as well as from across the university, in the design of an individualized plan of study leading to preparation for careers focusing on research and in academic settings.
