Communication Sciences and Disorders
Speech-language pathologists help children and adults with communicative problems and swallowing disorders. K-State prepares speech-language pathologists to work with all age groups in settings such as schools and medical centers.
Required course work provides the foundation skills for understanding the normal processes of speech, language, and hearing. The undergraduate program provides the framework for a graduate degree in communication sciences and disorders, which is required to become a certified speech-language pathologist or audiologist.
Communication sciences and disorders students also participate in supervised direct clinical experience in the K-State Speech and Hearing Center, the public schools and off-campus clinical training sites.
Undergraduate courses include General Phonetics, Anatomy of the Speech Mechanism, Developmental Psycholinguistics, Language Assessment and Intervention, Clinical Procedures in Communication Disorders, Audiology, and Hearing Science.
