Speech and Hearing Sciences
The ability to communicate with family, friends and community is a valuable gift. A speech or hearing impairment can affect all aspects of the affected individual’s life.
Through the study of speech and hearing sciences, our students obtain the skills to prevent, diagnose, monitor and treat communication disorders as audiologists and speech-language pathologists.
