One of the first Communicative Disorders and Sciences programs in California, the department has prepared students for careers as speech-language pathologists and audiologists for more than 40 years. Speech-language pathologists identify, evaluate and treat children and adults with speech-language, cognitive-communicative, and/or swallowing disorders. Audiologists diagnose and treat individuals with hearing or balance disorders. Our academic and clinical undergraduate curriculum provides the basis for further graduate study, required for a career in either field. Our Master's Degree in Education with a concentration in Speech Pathology is accredited by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association. Both members of the SJSU community and the larger community receive speech-language and hearing services at the Kay Armstead Center for Communication Disorders (Sweeney Hall 115).
