A child with delayed language development. A teen who stutters. A mother coping with severe hearing impairment. A grandfather fighting to regain speech after a stroke. All rely upon the care and expertise of speech-language pathologists and audiologists to identify, evaluate and treat their communication disorders.

SOLID CURRICULUM. Marquette's major in speech pathology and audiology offers the academic coursework needed to eventually meet the certification requirements of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

ON-SITE CLINICALS.
