To Communication Sciences and
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. Communication Sciences and 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 Sciences and Disorders. The undergraduate degree program,
which involves a comprehensive major of an interdisciplinary nature or a
standard major, 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.
