What Can You Do With a Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders?
Choosing to major in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) will prepare students primarily for graduate/advanced study in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. A major in CSD may also prepare students to pursue masters and doctoral degrees in the allied health and educational fields or to obtain jobs as a voice coach, a research assistant, or an educator at various institutions. Coursework and experience gained while obtaining one’s degree can be applied in a number of directions, but each student’s own assets, passion, and drive will determine their career path. A degree in CSD provides students with core competence in understanding the science of human communication and its disorders, integrating information from the broad areas of lifespan human development, psychology, cognitive science, biology, acoustics, and language sciences.
