Mission Statement of Communication Sciences and Disorders Program

The mission of the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is to cultivate CSD academics who will be well-rounded mentors, interdisciplinary researchers, passionate educators and dedicated leaders to future professionals in the field of CSD. Students in the Ph.D. program be able to conduct original interdisciplinary research, and effectively educate future clinicians in the field of Speech Language Pathology.

This is in direct concordance with the University’s mission of study, service and academic excellence. As stated, “Molloy University, an independent, Catholic college, rooted in the Dominican tradition of study, spirituality, service, and community, is committed to academic excellence with respect for each person. Through transformative education, Molloy promotes a lifelong search for truth and the development of ethical leadership.” The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders strives to embody these values of the College and integrate them into their classroom teaching, clinical instruction, and research specialties.
