The goal of the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences is to introduce students to the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology.  The department further strives to provide students with the foundation they will need in order to be successful in their careers upon graduating from Delta State University.

The Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences offers pre-professional instruction leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The department also operates a clinic for diagnosis and/or therapy for a wide range of communicative disorders, including language difficulties, speech pathologies, and auditory disorders. As a discipline of allied health, academic and clinical work in the department introduces the student to diagnosis, classification, and management of a broad spectrum of communicative disorders in preparation for graduate and/or professional studies in order to enter a career as a practicing specialist.

The Speech and Hearing Sciences program works in conjunction with the CCED to offer students valuable volunteer and internship opportunities with CCED programs. Such experience allows students to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it firsthand while serving local communities.
