Speech and Hearing Science (Auditory and Language Neuroscience), PhD

The PhD program in speech and hearing science with a concentration in auditory and language neuroscience enables students to develop a strong foundation in basic and applied neuroscience, conduct impactful research related to healthy auditory and language abilities, and explore the neural bases of communication disorders. This program's expert faculty are in a unique position to provide an integrated training experience because of their focus on innovative, cutting-edge approaches to the field of speech, language and hearing science, such as neuroimaging techniques and neuromodulation. Faculty backgrounds include engineering, neuroscience and psychology, in addition to expertise in speech-language pathology and auditory neural prosthetics. As such, this program leverages strong research and clinical relationships between ASU and Barrow Neurological Institute, Mayo Clinic, and Banner Alzheimer's Institute. Within ASU, rich collaborations exist between the College of Health Solutions, the School of Life Sciences, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, the Biodesign Institute and the Department of Psychology.
