Audiology and Speech-Language Sciences
Audiology and Speech-Language Sciences offers educational programs in speech-language pathology and audiology, both with a clinical orientation. As part of the training program, the department also houses the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Clinic, which provides a variety of diagnostic and rehabilitative services to individuals of any age with speech, language, and/or hearing difficulties. The program is accredited by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
The undergraduate program offers a pre-professional bachelor’s degree in speech-language pathology and audiology.

Training focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of speech, language, hearing, and balance disorders in both children and adults.
