Communication impacts every human interaction, influencing our relationships and the ability to access what we need. These in turn impact our overall health and wellbeing. The academic programs in Emerson College’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) address communication and health.

About the Department

Housed in Emerson College’s School of Communication, the CSD Department offers undergraduate programs in Communication Disorders and Health and Social Change. We also offer a graduate program, a Communication Disorders Master of Science (MS), in two modalities: in person and online. Both options share the same curriculum and are accredited by the CAA - ASHA.

Communication Disorders faculty are experienced practitioners and dedicated scholars who prepare students for a meaningful and rewarding career in their chosen discipline. Just as important will be students’ experiences outside of the classroom, where they will hone their skills through internships, clinical opportunities, and participation in student organizations.
