Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education
Utah State’s Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education (COMDDE) prepares students through distance and campus education for rewarding careers within the field of communication sciences and disorders. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), audiologists, and deaf educators work as clinicians, teachers, researchers, college instructors, clinical educators, and administrators. They work in diverse settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, early intervention programs, research laboratories, industry, private practice, government agencies, the armed forces, and post-secondary education. There is a strong demand for these professions in metropolitan and rural settings across the country.
