Degree Programs
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Northern Iowa offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. Our undergraduate students complete an undergraduate major in Communicative Disorders. Students choosing this major complete both liberal arts and preprofessional course work leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. The preprofessional aspects of our undergraduate program in Communicative Disorders include meaningful experiential learning experiences.
The graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Northern Iowa, an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Council of Academic Accreditation (CAA) accredited program, provides for advanced educational training in assessment and treatment of speech, language, and hearing disorders. Further, it has been designated as one of three enhanced graduate programs on the UNI campus. Course work and experiential learning experiences meet or exceed the current requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) as defined by ASHA. The faculty and staff of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders recognize the need to provide a quality program to meet the needs of students. The department is committed to providing learning opportunities and activities which enable students to develop into skilled and accomplished professionals. The department is proud of its low student/faculty ratio which allows for close contact between students and professors.
