For a complete listing of courses offered in the department, see the online Graduate Bulletin for the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences.

In addition, many of the courses offered for the professional master’s degree are taken by doctoral students in order to broaden knowledge beyond their primary field of study. Doctoral students often take courses offered by other departments as well, especially in Cognitive Science, Neural Science, Psychological and Brain Sciences, Linguistics, and Physics.
