Program Mission Statement
The Communication Disorders Program offers both
undergraduate and graduate programs in each discipline for initial licensure
as well as post-licensure professional development.
Recognizing the essentially of empirically based program, students
are provided early, intensive, and repeated clinical experiences.
Integrated throughout education area programs in an
allegiance to research, scholarship, and professional services.
Collaborative interdisciplinary relationships are recognized as
essential in the development of faculty, staff, and students.
As such, these relationships are developed and supported throughout
the programs. The program has an
unfailing commitment to prepare professionals who are ethnically responsible
and dedicated to the process of becoming lifelong learners in an ever
changing ethnically and culturally diverse society.
The primary mission of this multifaceted and integrated program is to
develop professional speech-language pathologists who are technically and
pedagogically competent, self-motivated, active participants in their
respective professional organizations, and who will seek to enrich their
professional growth throughout questioning, research, and self-evaluation
through the full tenure of their careers.
Programs in communication disorders at the
undergraduate and graduate levels are offered by Indiana State University to
provide students with knowledge and experiences that lead to rewarding
careers.
The undergraduate program in communication disorders at
Indiana State University offers students both academic preparation and
clinical experience in treating persons with communication disorders.
One of the hallmarks of the program is the department’s commitment to
undergraduate clinical experiences that culminate in a student teaching
experience during the senior year.
These experiences foster the practical application of theories and
methodologies during the learning process.
Indiana State’s undergraduate program in communication disorders is
an excellent foundation for advanced professional training at the graduate
level. A master’s degree in
speech-language pathology is required for most careers in the field of
communication disorders.
The graduate program in communication disorders at
Indiana State University provides professional training for a career as a
speech-language pathologist. In
addition to advanced coursework in communication disorders, graduate
students participate in extensive clinical experiences including a hospital
practicum. Ideally, a
prospective graduate student should hold a bachelor’s degree in
communication disorders or speech-language pathology.
Graduates with degrees in other areas must take prerequisite
undergraduate coursework prior to admittance to the graduate program.
Students work closely with faculty to design programs to fit their
individual needs.
The department is home to the Rowe Center for
Communicative Disorders. The
center enhances learning at both the undergraduate and graduate level by
providing frequent opportunities for students to observe and practice
classroom theories in a clinical situation.
The center includes therapy rooms with two-way mirrors, sound
monitoring systems, an audiology suite, videotaping and playback viewing
suite, and a speech-science laboratory.
The Rowe Center for Communicative Disorders offers speech and language assessments and treatments to a wide range of speech disorders such as articulation, voice, stuttering, and ESL, and a variety of language disorders such as delayed/disordered language development, aphasia, and traumatic brain injury. These are available to preschoolers, school-age children, and adults at no cost.
