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 *The Chronicle of Higher Education *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.

*GOALS:*

1. To provide doctoral training in the study of language and communicative 
behavior with an interdisciplinary focus that integrates state-of-the-art 
knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders, cognitive sciences, 
neurosciences, psychology and linguistics represented by the expertise of 
core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.

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

3. 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.

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

*ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:*

Although 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.

*RESOURCES AND SUPPORT:*

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 (
http://slhs.sdsu.edu/student-resources/current-students/financial-aid/traineeships/nih-grant/).  
This funding, along with other institutional and grant funding, provides us 
with resources to support our doctoral students.  Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (
shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information regarding this training grant.

*ASHA CONVENTION 2014:*

Doctoral faculty will be attending ASHA in Chicago in November.  Interested 
students planning on attending are invited to contact us and meet us at the 
Graduate Fair on November 14-15, 2013.
