Augustana College offers a major in communication sciences and disorders -- the only CSD program in Illinois that focuses solely on undergraduate education. Along with challenging academic coursework within a liberal arts foundation, components of the CSD major include substantial clinical experience, research and service learning -- all with the close support of the CSD faculty. The department recently moved into a state-of-the-art facility in the Brodahl Building that houses the classroom and student-clinician workroom, seven assessment-intervention rooms, one audiology suite, two research laboratories, a conference room and CSD faculty offices. All Augustana students complete Senior Inquiry, a capstone project in which students draw from their comprehensive learning experiences to develop and complete a topical project that demonstrates benefit to a community. Each student develops his or her Senior Inquiry project in partnership with a faculty mentor or clinical internship supervisor. Every year, one or two CSD majors are granted the Augustana College CSD Student Research Award in support of their research.
