<span style="font-family:'Arial Narrow'">The doctoral program in Language and Communicative Disorders is designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested in applying research skills to the disorders. Our interdisciplinary program, the only program of its kind in California, provides training in normal (spoken and signed) language, language disorders, multilingualism, and in the neural bases of language learning, use, and loss. It is designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested in applying state-of-the-art research skills to the study of communicative disorders. We are very proud of our program, students and faculty. Our doctoral program ranked fourth on the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index rankings compiled by Academic Analytics and released by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>The Chronicle of Higher Education<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>in 2007. The National Research Council (NRC) ranked our doctoral program among the top ten in the nation in their most recent rankings (2010). The majority of our graduates hold faculty positions in universities or research scientist positions in labs here in the US and abroad.</span></p>
