University of Vermont Department of Communication Sciences
Communication Sciences strives to achieve two goals for its undergraduate students:

• Development of the basic skills required to gain and share new learning with others during college and thereafter.
• Acquisition of fundamental knowledge regarding human communication and its disorders.

The first aim of Communication Sciences is to help students acquire critical thinking, reading, writing, and problem-solving skills. These are the skills that enable one to meet current and future challenges in ever-changing academic and real-world environments.

The second aim of Communication Sciences is to provide undergraduate students with expertise in a uniquely human endeavor -- the use of complex systems of communication (language) across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. How language is learned, how it is produced, and how it is perceived and understood are topics that make up the primary subject matter of Communication Sciences. Yet another part of the discipline concerns disorders in the ability to learn, produce, or perceive language. The study of these disorders is part of the foundation needed for a career in speech-language pathology or audiology.
