The educational mission of the Communication Sciences and Disorders program at Harding University is to prepare highly competent speech-language pathologists in a rigorous academic curriculum with an emphasis on Christian living. The program is designed to reflect the University’s goal of integrating faith, learning and living in order for the students to function within professional and global communities, which exemplifies the university’s desire to be a Community of Mission.
The undergraduate communication sciences and disorders majors are preprofessional in nature and are strongly recommended for students planning to pursue a master’s degree and certification by the Council of Academic Accreditation (CAA of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
Students receive their clinical experience under the supervision of ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists and audiologists All students participating in clinical activities must exhibit the essential skills necessary to become a speech-language pathologist or audiologist. The program supports the ASHA position that the graduate degree should be the minimum requirement for professional certification. Administrative offices for this program of study are located in the Swaid Center for Health Sciences.
