UVA’s BS in Speech Communication Disorders provides foundational training in communication sciences and prepares students for graduate study in speech-language pathology or audiology. Students explore normal and disordered communication development, anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, phonetics, and language acquisition. The program includes observation hours, research opportunities, and coursework in linguistics and neuroscience. It prepares students for clinical, educational, and healthcare settings where communication support is essential.
