The internationally recognized scholarship of the Department's faculty brings a sense of immediacy and excitement to classroom instruction. The clinic offers opportunities for hands-on experiences in the assessment and treatment of individuals with communication disorders.
Clinical activities can also serve as the basis of research projects.
This organizational framework allows faculty and students to work primarily in one area while benefiting from interactions and collaborations with those from other areas. For the faculty, teaching assignments and research interests tend to be complementary, thus allowing students to take advantage of classroom learning and research experiences at the same time.
