Through the Graduate School, it offers programs of study in speech and language pathology, audiology, speech and hearing science, and linguistics. Graduate study and research leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are pursued in areas such as speech and language pathology, diagnostic and rehabilitative audiology, speech and language acquisition, linguistics, augmentative and alternative communication, speech and hearing physiology, experimental phonetics, psychoacoustics, bioacoustics, and neuro-science. As clinicians and behavioral scientists, students study the receptive and productive aspects of normal and pathological comm-unication. Specific attention is given to the auditory, respiratory, phonatory, and articulatory processes, as well as the perceptual, cognitive, and linguistic processes associated with communication.
Graduate programs are highly individualized.
Each student is guided by a major professor and an advisory committee.
