Graduate Programs
Communication Sciences and Disorders: Ph.D.
The Ph.D. program in communication sciences and disorders (CSCD) at the University of Delaware is the first doctoral program in CSCD in the state of Delaware. Through our faculty, who represent a range of interests within the discipline, we offer doctoral training in speech articulation, phonology, language and bilingualism, voice, and their respective disorders, in children and adults. Diverse research modalities are used, including research using human, imaging and computational modeling. The program is deeply interdisciplinary, having emerging connections across the University, including connections with linguistics, kinesiology, exercise physiology, tissue engineering psychology and music.
