The Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences has officially announced that it will now be offering a new minor in speech and hearing science for all students at Binghamton University.
The new minor aims to better prepare students for graduate programs to become speech and language pathologists (SLPs). It consists of six courses, and all students can enroll regardless of whether students are in the minor program. Some of the courses include an introduction to communication disorders, anatomy and physiology, plus phonetics and linguistics. Rodney Gabel, founder of the program and one of the future professors expected to teach within the program, expanded on the details of the new courses.
