As an undergraduate in the communication sciences and disorders program at UW-Stevens Point, you will study the development of children’s speech and language skills, the anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanisms, as well as how speech, language and hearing impairments may impact successful communication. During your first two years, you'll be provided with an overview of the field, clinic observations, and an introduction to normal communication processes. At the junior level, you will study disorders and intervention programs and as a senior, you will experience management of cases. To prepare for our program, high school students should focus on courses in biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, mathematics and communication. Volunteer work with all ages is encouraged, as is shadowing of speech-language pathologists and audiologists. After earning a bachelor's degree, you will pursue a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders-Speech and Language Pathology (SLP) or a Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.), required by these professions. The UW-Stevens Point graduate programs are accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). These graduate degrees lead to career opportunities in settings including school systems, hospitals, birth-to-three programs, medical/rehabilitation centers, private practice and universities.
