To Communication
Disorders Course Descriptions
Communication
is one of the most important human attributes. The child or adult unable
to speak or hear normally can be isolated tragically. Communication
Disorders (Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology) is the profession
devoted to helping people overcome disabilities in speech, language,
and/or hearing, and to increasing our knowledge of human communication
processes.
The first step
toward a career in this field is the earning of an undergraduate degree
with a major in Communication Disorders. The undergraduate degree program,
which involves a comprehensive major of an interdisciplinary nature,
includes a strong liberal arts and sciences component. A master’s degree
is required to complete the professional education prior to initial
employment. For a description of the UW-Eau Claire master’s degree
program in speech-language pathology, contact the Department. The master’s
degree program is accredited in speech-language pathology by the Council
on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association and is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public
Instruction.
