It is the general mission of the Department of
Communication Sciences and Disorders to provide
academic and clinical instruction, supervised
clinical practicum, and research experience for
students; to provide clinical services to individuals,
groups, and agencies within
the University and greater Grand Forks area; to provide professional leadership
with local, state, and national organizations; to contribute to the body of knowledge
concerning communication processes and communication disorders; and to serve
the University and participate in its governance. This mission is directed at
meeting the needs of the University of North Dakota and its constituency.
ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS
The undergraduate coursework in Communication
Sciences and Disorders is grounded in a
liberal arts education. The undergraduate
degree is designed to prepare the student
to become a lifelong learner, critical
thinker, and problem solver.
The coursework is also designed to prepare
the undergraduate major to pursue professional
and graduate work, including a graduate
degree in Speech-Language Pathology or
Audiology. A graduate degree in either
field of communication disorders is required
to work as a speech-language pathologist
or audiologist.
A minor in American Sign Language and Deaf
Studies also is offered. The minor provides
an option for students who wish to acquire
American Sign Language skills and gain
a greater understanding of the culture
of the deaf who sign.
