Links between theory, research and practice are emphasized throughout the entire program of study. Our nationally prominent faculty members actively investigate both basic and applied questions pertaining to a wide range of speech, language, learning, hearing, and behavior problems. As a result, current trends within the field are continually integrated in class discussions.
While engaging in clinical practice in our on-campus clinics at the beginning of their programs, and in off-site settings as they advance their skills, student clinicians are guided to use evidence-based practices.
In addition, students are encouraged to broaden their knowledge and expertise through observations in other clinics, elective course work, colloquia series, participation in the many research projects conducted throughout the department, and interdisciplinary opportunities in areas such as neuroscience, linguistics, and language and cognition.
