Welcome to Speech Pathology and Audiology
Speech-language pathology and audiology are exciting professions wherein practitioners provide services in a wide variety of settings to individuals of all ages who have speech, voice, language, swallowing, hearing, and/or balance disorders. The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology (SPA) at West Virginia University offers a preprofessional Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, a professional Master of Science (M.S.) program in Speech-Language Pathology, a professional Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) program, and a post-professional Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in Communication Sciences and Disorders. The Ph.D., our newest program, is specifically designed for expert clinicians who seek a leadership role as a researcher and scholar in the discipline. Both of our professional graduate programs are accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
