沟通障碍

A bachelor’s degree in 沟通障碍 prepares you for a career as a speech-language pathologist, audiologist or language or hearing scientist – professionals who help children and adults with speech, 语言及听力障碍.

Our bachelor’s degree program provides the strong foundation in human communication sciences that you need to begin practicing in an allied health career (professions in healthcare that aren’t medicine or nursing) or to enter a graduate program. A master’s degree is required to practice as a speech-language pathologist; a clinical doctorate is required to become an audiologist; and a Ph.D. is required to be a speech, language or hearing scientist.
