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 <em>The Chronicle of Higher Education </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.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

this is a research Ph.D. program, SLHS offers a separate graduate program in
SLP. It may be possible to complete a
CFY or obtain academic and clinical training concurrently with doctoral
studies. However, access to clinical
training is not automatic nor is it guaranteed.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">In
fall 2008 our program at SDSU moved into a new clinical, research, and academic
building with state-of-the-art Speech-Language and Audiology clinics, wonderful
high-tech labs, and great new instructional facilities. These resources, combined with the
outstanding facilities at UCSD, provide doctoral students with the best
possible training environment. Several
different funding sources are used to support doctoral students including
program scholarships, Graduate assistantships, in-state and out-of-state fee
support, and faculty grants. Our NIH
doctoral training grant “Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders” was
recently renewed for five years of funding (</span><a href="http://slhs.sdsu.edu/student-resources/current-students/financial-aid/traineeships/nih-grant/"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">http://slhs.sdsu.edu/student-resources/current-students/financial-aid/traineeships/nih-grant/</span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">). This funding, along with other institutional
and grant funding, provides us with resources to support our doctoral students.
