Ilsa Schwarz, Head

The Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology offers course work in the scientific study of human communication sciences and disorders. As a result of administrative changes, the graduate programs in audiology, speech pathology, and speech and hearing science are now offered by the University of Tennessee Health Science Center although the department is still located on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus. These programs are accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech Pathology. Please see the University of Tennessee Health Science Center catalog for department and course descriptions.
 
The undergraduate majors in audiology and speech pathology are no longer offered through the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
