Communication Sciences and Disorders is a field that calls for caring and creative problem-solvers to meet the growing demand for professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, special education, medical and other communication-related fields.

Career Outcomes

Graduates are able to pursue licensure as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant in the state of Texas. A Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant can provide treatment to those with various communication disorders under the supervision of a fully licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.
Graduates are able to pursue a graduate degree in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology in order to become a fully licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.S. CCC-SLP) or a fully licensed Audiologist (Au.D. CCC-A)
Graduates may find employment in rehabilitation settings, with hearing aid companies, with non-profits, in hospice, home health, hospitals, or in educational settings. Transferable skills from CSD-degrees can lead graduates to careers in media, education, sales, public relations, health and human services, or in a wide variety of government agencies. This degree can lead many different directions, thus increasing the employability of our prospective graduates.
There are additional options for students to pursue graduate work, including Vocational Rehabilitation, Special Education, Counseling, Occupational Therapy, Linguistics, Social Work, or Psychology, along with many other helping-oriented professions. Other potential careers, without getting a graduate degree, include employment in a broad range of disciplines such as allied health, human services, life sciences, education, or the social sciences.
