The department educates and supports graduate students and postdocs in becoming highly-qualified, ethical, and discerning researchers, clinical practitioners, and professionals. We offer graduate degree programs in clinical practice and research at the Ph.D., Au.D., and M.A. levels.

We also provide a comprehensive foundational curriculum for undergraduate students at the B.A. level. Our major in speech, language, and hearing sciences prepares students for a wide range of careers and for graduate study.
