The University of Kansas offers a nationally respected, intercampus program that connects the Lawrence campus and KU Medical Center. This unique partnership provides students access to expert faculty, collaborative research, and extensive hands-on clinical training at both the Schiefelbusch Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic in Lawrence and the KU Medical Center Hearing and Speech Clinic in Kansas City.
With strong mentorship, diverse clinical experiences across the lifespan, and a commitment to evidence-based practice, KU prepares students to become skilled clinicians, researchers, and leaders in speech-language pathology and audiology.
Undergraduate
Undergraduates in the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders study the basic processes of human communication. Programs are designed for the student who seeks a career in speech, language, or hearing or is interested in normal communication development and communication disorders.
Beginning with the undergraduate experience, you'll find stimulating course work, clinical observation, and a variety of hands-on laboratory projects. To practice as a speech-language pathologist, you will need to earn a master’s degree. Plan to pursue doctoral studies if you want to practice audiology or do research in speech, language, and hearing processes and disorders.
Qualified KU undergraduates may earn both a B.A. in Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders and M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology in approximately 5 years through the Accelerated M.A. program.
