COMMUNICATION SCIENCES AND DISORDERS MARY MCDERMOTT, Ed.D., CCC-SLP, Chair Speech Language Pathologists are medical professionals that prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults. The Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) at Gannon University is established as a baccalaureate program that involves a theoretical and practical professional curriculum consisting of liberal core studies, introductory and advanced courses in CSD, and clinical experiences relevant to the discipline and required to achieve the baccalaureate degree in this profession. This curriculum is carefully aligned with the necessary foundation to pursue an advanced degree in speech-language pathology and audiology and licensure requirements for the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). The Communication Sciences and Disorders undergraduate program prepares students to become health care professionals and educators who provide the highest standard of evidenced-based clinical and person-centered service to a multicultural and diverse population. This undergraduate program provides an academically comprehensive curriculum that prepares students with the theoretical foundation, scientific research, and ethical issues to become compassionate clinicians, critical thinkers, and developing servant leaders.
