The Speech-Language Pathology Cooperative Program at Yonsei University, established in 1998 for Master's and 2001 for Doctoral degrees, aims to cultivate top-tier speech-language pathologists with excellent skills and ethics. The program provides both theoretical knowledge in speech-language pathology and related fields, along with practical clinical observation and training. Speech-language pathology is an academic field dedicated to the study of communication disorders, alongside audiology. Communication disorders encompass any difficulties in normal communication arising from genetic, physiological, psychological, or environmental factors, including hearing impairments, and disorders in understanding or producing language and speech. Our curriculum is designed to equip students with the expertise to effectively assess, diagnose, prevent, and treat speech and language disorders. Graduates are prepared to work in diverse settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, special education schools, private clinics, and research institutions.
The program offers a comprehensive curriculum combining theoretical knowledge with practical clinical experience. Most coursework, research, and clinical observation take place within the Severance Rehabilitation Hospital. Students will learn from professors specializing in speech-language pathology as well as clinical faculty from the medical school for relevant medical knowledge.
Graduates of the Speech-Language Pathology program are prepared for diverse professional roles in the field. They are well-equipped to provide high-quality services in various clinical and educational settings.
