New SLHS & Linguistics Degree

In fall 2016, Sargent launched a bachelor’s degree program in Linguistics and Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences (SLHS) in conjunction with the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS). The joint degree gives students a foundation for pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including public health, medicine, neuropsychology, language technology, and child development and education. One of the few such programs offered by any university, the degree fosters interdisciplinary research and provides new opportunities for experiential learning. The program will be taught by faculty from Sargent and CAS, and jointly administered by Sudha Arunachalam, an assistant professor of SLHS at Sargent, and Carol Neidle, a professor of French and Linguistics and director of the linguistics program at CAS.
