Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences
Speech-language-hearing specialists and audiologists enhance lives by improving communication and hearing.
Whether working with children or adults, these professionals combine science, art and compassion to help people effectively express themselves through speaking and writing, and better interact with the world around them by learning strategies for processing what they hear and read.
At Kean, our students learn the building blocks of the social sciences and communication disorders to develop a toolkit of potential treatment options for clients.
Kean speech-language-hearing sciences graduates are well prepared to gain admission to graduate programs in speech-language pathology or doctoral programs in audiology.
You will take a variety of courses in the sciences and humanities to learn and understand the processes that underlie the development of speech, language and hearing.
Members of Kean's Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences Club participate in service projects throughout the year.
