knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders, cognitive sciences,
neurosciences, psychology and linguistics represented by the expertise of
core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.

To prepare professionals, educated in the interface between behavioral and
cognitive neuroscience methodologies, who will provide critical leadership
in research and health services.

To prepare Ph.D. level scientists in the field of language and communicative
disorders to serve as faculty in university programs and scientists in a
variety of settings to carry out much-needed research on the processes of
language development, disorders, assessment and intervention.

To prepare researchers to carry out much-needed research in communicative
behavior and disorders in bilingualism and multiculturalism.
