Pre-Professional Speech Pathology And Cognitive And Linguistic Science
Students who wish to prepare for graduate or professional work in Speech Pathology and Communication Disorders should major in Cognitive Science. Suggested minors include Psychology, Disability Studies, and/or Linguistics. This allows them to follow a course of study drawing on linguistics, speech science, psychology, neuroscience, and biology. This will include courses in acoustics, physiology, psycholinguistics, normal and abnormal development, and a variety of other scientific and clinical fields. A model concentration for students interested in Pre-Professional Spech Pathology is provided at (http://www.ling.udel.edu/ling).
