Communicative Sciences and Disorders (Minor)
Program Description
This highly flexible minor helps students develop an understanding of normal communication processes and the nature of communication disorders across the lifespan. Students gain familiarity with normal speech, language, and hearing processes; develop a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanism; become familiar with the disorders that affect the ability to communicate across the lifespan; and explore the impact of speech, language, and hearing disorders on communication processes across the lifespan. Students complete some of the foundational prerequisite courses required for graduate clinical degrees in speech pathology and acquire a foundation for pursuing degrees in medical or allied health professions, education, and behavioral sciences.
The minor is open to all undergraduate students at NYU with the exception of Steinhardt students majoring in Communicative Sciences and Disorders or Global Public Health/Communicative Sciences and Disorders.
