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 cooperating 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: Developmental Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, Developmental Neurolinguistics, Speech Acoustics and Perception, Psychoacoustics, Otoacoustic Emissions, and Auditory and Auditory Evoked Potentials.
