Communicative Disorders
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Program in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology
The primary goal of the Ph.D. program is to educate students to become researchers with a focus on interdisciplinary studies and laboratory science. Doctoral students typically engage in study and research within several departments or programs, including biomedical engineering, dentistry, gerontology, linguistics, medicine, psychology, and special education. Coursework is designed to develop expertise in various aspects of research so that students can ultimately conduct independent and original research programs which add to the body of knowledge in basic and applied communicative disorders.The department of Communicative Disorders is committed to recruiting, admitting, supporting, graduating, and helping to place students with the highest ethical and academic qualities.
