COMD turns 75! Join us in celebrating our anniversary on April 29th.
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Houston houses 7 research laboratories committed to investigating various aspects of human communication.
In 2022, 100% of our MA students passed the praxis exam on the first attempt. Historically, more than 90% of MA graduates are employed in speech-language pathology positions within 9 months of graduation.
Anita Cortez is our new Administrative Coordinator and Alyin Castro is our new COMD UG, PB, and ASLI Academic Advisor. We are pleased to welcome both to our department.
