Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Doctor of Philosophy program in speech and hearing science requires a minimum of 72 s.h. of graduate credit.

Although there is no standard curriculum for the PhD, a program of study is developed by each student in consultation with their mentor and a faculty planning committee.

The course of study typically includes registration in an introductory course in doctoral research that covers broad issues relevant to research approaches and life in academia, as well as one or more courses in statistical or other research methods.

In addition, a range of topical seminars and courses are offered by faculty members in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, as well as by faculty in other departments, including linguistics, psychological and brain sciences, otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, statistics and actuarial science, molecular physiology and biophysics, engineering, neuroscience, and computer science.
