The Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders (BS) at the University of Louisville is designed for students fascinated by the complexities of human communication and its disorders. You will explore the biological, physical, sociocultural, and linguistic underpinnings of speech, language, and hearing. This interdisciplinary program equips you with a foundational understanding of audiology and speech-language pathology, preparing you for advanced graduate study and a rewarding career in a field that makes a profound difference in people's lives.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate program is structured over four years, offering a comprehensive curriculum that includes core subjects like normal speech and language development, anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing mechanisms, and audiological techniques. You will engage in clinical observations and, depending on your chosen track, potentially begin graduate coursework early through the Accelerated Audiology Pathway. Upon completion, you will be well-prepared for graduate programs in speech-language pathology or audiology, or for entry-level roles supporting communication health.
