Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences

    The Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) is the focal point of the collaborative research activities of the Graduate Center. It promotes interdisciplinary research, partners with GC Research Centers, Institutes and Interdisciplinary Committees, connects the research activities of CUNY faculty at the Colleges to GC research programs and seminars, and provides a home for outstanding visiting scholars to collaborate with faculty and students. ARC offers support to GC doctoral students pursuing research as well as to postdoctoral students who have completed their initial projects.

Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences

Introduction

The Ph.D. Program in Speech–Language–Hearing Sciences stresses strong theoretical and empirical training in human communication and its disorders, preparing students for careers in research and teaching. Programs of study focus on specializations within the speech, language, and hearing sciences, and relevant interdisciplinary study is encouraged. Research training is conducted both at the Graduate Center and at collaborating research facilities under the mentorship of leading investigators. A number of research laboratories provide students with the opportunity to engage in specialized research. Current research laboratories include: Audiology and Auditory Evoked Potentials Laboratory, Developmental Language Laboratory, Developmental Neurolinguistics Laboratory, Hearing Science Laboratory, Language and Cognition Laboratory, Neurolinguistics Laboratory, Speech Acoustics and Perception Laboratory.

Program Inception: 1965 [Name changed from Ph.D. Program in Speech and Hearing Sciences in 2007]
