Introduction

Welcome to the website of the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders. The undergraduate study prepares students for graduate study in the fields of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and results in the award of the B.A. degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders.

The undergraduate program in Communicative Sciences and Disorders is designed to disseminate existing knowledge of speech, language, and hearing disorders, and to provide clinical experience in the recognition, prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of speech, language, and hearing disorders. The undergraduate program ultimately prepares students for graduate study in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology.

In the undergraduate program, students engage in a wide range of clinical experiences under the direct supervision of ASHA-certified faculty and clinical staff. These experiences include mass screenings, public education, diagnostic evaluations, individual therapy, and group therapy. Through the Hampton University Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic, students are given the opportunity to serve children and adults with diverse communication disorders, such as articulation and phonological disorders, fluency disorders, language delays, language disorders associated with cognitive impairments, and speech and language disorders associated with hearing impairments. Students may also gain experience with providing dialect and accent reduction services.
