Overview

Enhancing communication across the lifespan by integrating research and clinical practice from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences.

The University of Illinois moved to remote classes mid-semester Spring 2020 and adopted the policy that students had until the 14th week of class to choose to take their courses credit/no credit. Expanded options for credit/no credit continued for the Fall 2020 semester. The department encouraged students who had difficulties with access to technology, whose school placements or externships were disrupted or canceled, or who experienced other mitigating factors to take their courses credit/no credit.

What Will I do?

Students in Speech and Hearing Science are prepared to make a difference in the lives of people with communication impairments, either through direct services or research.

AuD students provide annual training for the Marching Illini Bandmembers on how to protect their hearing and offer free hearing screenings for all band members. This is one of many examples of opportunities our students have outside of classes and clinic to help the community.
