The School of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, first established as the Department of Communicative Disorders, consists of the separate but related professions of speech-language pathology and audiology. The school's programs are designed to provide basic and advanced professional preparation, with a strong commitment to theoretical and research foundations of clinical intervention. In order to provide students with "real world" professional experiences, the school maintains contractual relationships with community clinics, hospitals, agencies and educational institutions. Through its SDSU Audiology Clinic and SDSU Speech-Language Clinic, the school offers diagnostic and rehabilitative services to University students, faculty and staff, as well as to individuals in the San Diego region.
