about us
The department offers graduate programs leading to the masters and doctoral degrees in speech-language pathology.
Because of its focus on infusing cultural diversity throughout the curriculum, Howard University is an ideal place to pursue graduate education in speech-language pathology. It is strategically located in Washington, D.C., near the health sciences complexes at Howard University.
Clinical and research experiences are available to students at this complex and throughout the University including the University Speech and Hearing Clinic and Howard University Hospital, as well as regionally in government, educational, and health care institutions throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area.
We provide students with a strong scientific foundation and mentoring to succeed in graduate school. The department is nationally recognized because of its outstanding faculty, concentrated focus on multiculturalism, quality of comprehensive training, and well-organized curricula.

In addition, the master of science program has excellent graduation, employment, and Praxis pass rates. Doctoral students may choose either the adult neurological track or the child language track.
Ph.D. Communication Science
