BA/BS in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

Adelphi's communication disorders major introduces students to how speech, language and hearing can break down and how clinicians help. It works as preparation for graduate study in speech pathology or audiology, though some graduates take other routes into schools, special needs teaching, language study, laboratory science, healthcare or management instead. Undergraduates can observe and take part in clinical and research activity at the university's own campus clinic, an advantage few institutions can match. The program is based on the Garden City campus, out on Long Island, where instructors devote real attention to student progress and professional growth. Prospective students apply through the usual undergraduate admissions routes, and the university outlines scholarships, grants and aid for students in the education and health sciences college. Students receive support from advisers as they plan graduate applications.
