Hearing and Speach Sciences
The Ph.D. program in Hearing and Speech Sciences is designed to train individuals interested in conducting research in normal and disordered processes of speech, language, or hearing. Graduate students in the HESP Ph.D. program participate in an integrated set of courses and research experiences to enable them to succeed in careers in academic and research settings. Directed experience in teaching is also provided in the overall educational plan.
A student may specialize in speech, language, or hearing. Students will also choose a special interest area within the specialization. Special interest areas may focus on the normal aspects of their specialization or disorders related to it. Although a minor area of study is not a requirement, students are encouraged to take courses in a correlative area of study outside the department that may be applied to the overall requirements for the doctoral degree.
