What is Communication Sciences And Disorders?

Communication Sciences and Disorders includes the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology. We train students for in-demand careers through academic coursework and hands-on experience in the on-campus UNCG Speech and Hearing Center.

Our academic and clinical faculty are highly sought after and cover a range of specialty areas, including stuttering, language disorders, auditory processing, cochlear implants, aphasia, school-age language disorders, and traumatic brain injury.
