The Doctor of Philosophy program in Speech and Hearing Science provides flexible, comprehensive training for scholar-researchers interested in communication processes and their disorders. Students with diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply and develop their skills in an atmosphere of interdisciplinary research. Graduates from the program have gone on to distinguished careers in academia, industry, and health care settings. Many serve as editors of major scientific journals in our field and assume leadership roles in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Acoustical Society of America, National Institutes of Health and others. <br><br>At the heart of the program are close associations with faculty who are, and have long been, nationally-recognized leaders in their fields who direct successful, externally-funded research programs. Their research initiatives are bolstered by the presence and reputation of Iowa's highly-ranked clinical training programs and by strong collaborations forged with faculty from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, the School of Music, and the Colleges of Medicine (Otolaryngology/Neurosurgery), Engineering, and Public Health.
