LA CROSSE, Wis. – Viterbo University has announced its newest undergraduate degree program—a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders and Sciences that will prepare students for graduate school and future careers in speech language pathology and audiology. It will begin in the fall of 2023.

The communication disorders and sciences major includes academic, clinical, and research components and features therapy simulations, faculty guided clinical observations, and internship opportunities at hospitals, clinics, community health organizations, and school districts.
