At BU Sargent College, the study of speech language and hearing sciences combines an understanding and appreciation of scientific inquiry in the basic sciences and the normal processes related to communication, swallowing, and cognition as a strong foundation for the study of human communication disorders.
Speech Language Pathology and Audiology
Professionals in these fields utilize a deep knowledge of normal communication processes and apply this to the identification and evaluation of communication disorders, helping to develop and implement habilitative and rehabilitative programs for the communicatively impaired.
