About the CSD Department

The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is a relatively new department at Western Carolina University, although many of our faculty and courses have been part of WCU for years. Our promotion to a department is a sign of our value to the university.

We are currently home to 75 undergraduate students who are seeking the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. These students gain valuable pre-professional experience in our department. We also currently have 50 graduate students seeking the Master of Science (M.S.) degree. These students are building on the skills and knowledge they gained at the undergraduate level—whether in the field of communication sciences and disorders or not—in order to enter the field at a professional level.

In addition to our commitment to our students, we also are home to the Speech and Hearing Center, which serves approximately 60 clients a week. This allows us not only to help train our students but also to aid our community.
