Why study Speech and Hearing Science BA at UB?

The undergraduate program in the Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences (CDS) is a pre-professional program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. The speech and hearing science major provides the common core of knowledge concerning the normal processes of speech, language, and hearing that is required for a background for study of disorders of communication. Students who successfully complete the undergraduate major in speech and hearing science may apply for the graduate program for speech-language pathology or audiology.

The University at Buffalo offers undergraduate and graduate programs in speech-language pathology, and audiology. Our programs rank very high nationwide. The graduate degree is the entry level into the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology. No certification is available based on the undergraduate curriculum.

Currently, the average salary in both professions is approximately $76,000 per year. The majority of audiologists and speech-language pathologists work in hospitals, community clinics, and school systems. Some trained individuals also are employed in universities, industry, governmental agencies, private practice, or in group practice working with physicians and other specialists.
