Undergraduate students can pursue a B.A., B.S., or minor in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Graduate students can obtain a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, including a bilingual training track, a clinical doctorate in Audiology, or a research focused Ph.D. The Ph.D. can be combined with an Au.D. or clinical training in Speech-Language Pathology.
Our courses provide a foundation in the field, with courses in hearing, speech, and language science, hearing and speech anatomy and physiology, aspects of cognitive and communication across the lifespan, audiology, and speech language pathology. Undergraduates can fulfill their foreign language requirement by taking our American Sign Language (ASL) course sequence and can meet diversity in the U.S. requirements through our course on Deaf culture.
Our faculty’s research addresses the fundamental aspects of communication—speech, language, and hearing. Our department is highly regarded for its research profile and consistently places in the top 20 of its kind nationally among various evaluations. We also have an excellent student job placement record.
Our department is home to the Hearing Clinic, Speech-Language Clinic, evaluation clinics, a Language Based Preschool program, Bilingual Services and several support groups. Evaluation and treatment is available to people of all ages throughout south-central Indiana.
