PhD in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

The Joint Doctoral Program in Language and Communicative Disorders is shared by San Diego State University and the University of California San Diego. Students pursue research on speech, language, and communication and the disorders that affect them, drawing on faculty from both campuses. The program's site mentions a training grant from the Office of Special Education Programs, called PROJECT Intersect, and carries news items about its students. One recent announcement congratulated students in their first and second years for presenting at a doctoral colloquium in 2024. Beyond those items, the retrievable page offered little detail about courses, milestones, or admission, so applicants should not rely on this summary for requirements. Anyone interested should contact the program directly to learn about current faculty research, funding, entrance materials, and deadlines.
