Overview

If you welcome a challenge and are passionate about helping others, a career in speech-language pathology or audiology is right for you.

The Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) major is offered by the Speech-Language Pathology Department at Concordia University Wisconsin. It begins with foundational knowledge of speech, language, hearing, swallowing, normal lifespan development, and leads to hands-on experiences with children and adults with communication disorders.

Whether you choose a career in speech-language pathology or audiology, both require a graduate degree to enter clinical practice. To learn more about the professions and scope of practice in speech-language pathology and audiology visit the American-Speech-Language - Hearing Association (ASHA).
