THE PROGRAM

The Ph.D. Program in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences stresses strong theoretical and empirical training in the nature and processes of human communication and its disorders in preparing its graduates for research and academic careers. Although programs of study focus on specific specializations within the speech, language, and hearing sciences, relevant interdisciplinary study is encouraged. Research training is conducted at The Graduate Center under the mentorship of doctoral faculty. The Ph.D. Program in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at The Graduate Center offers training in communication sciences and disorders. Consortial cooperation exists between The Graduate Center and the CUNY senior colleges, particularly the clinical facilities at Brooklyn, Hunter, Lehman, and Queens colleges, which provide clinical research settings.

Fellowships and Research Assistantships

Fellowships and Research Assistantships are available through the Ph.D. program. These awards enable students to pursue full-time doctoral study, are service connected, and require students to participate in research and/or teaching for a stipulated number of hours each week.
