Communicative Disorders Program
at San Francisco State University!
We
invite you to explore our website
to learn more about our program.
Our
Mission Statement: The mission of the Communicative
Disorders Program (CD) at San Francisco State University (SFSU) is to
prepare professionals to provide competent and compassion-ate service
to people with communication disorders, across the lifespan. The SFSU
CD Program is based on the following core values: collaboration; compassion;
resilience; inquiry and investigation; life-long learning; professionalism;
multiculturalism, and internationalism.
Two degree
programs are offered: the Bachelor of Arts in Communicative Disorders
and Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology. To fulfill its mission
and the goals of the strategic plan*, the SFSU CD Program will:
• Promote
a climate in which collaboration with all partners in the service of persons
with communicative disorders is the core of clinical service.
•
Demonstrate understanding of the perspectives of people with disabilities
and their family members, through compassion for all participants and
perspectives in communicative disorders.
• Obtain cultural competence in coursework and clinical experiences
in the context of the unique cultural and linguistic diversity of the
San Francisco Bay Area.
• Participate in learning experiences across the continuum of professional
development, from foundation course work in communication disorders for
undergraduate students, to graduate education in speech-language pathology,
to continuing education, and life-long learning.
• Develop resilience and skills necessary for future and current
professionals to thrive in the workplace of the future.
• Promote clinical competence through the development of self-evaluation
and analysis of the clinical interaction that builds a professional sense
of self in all interactions.
• Embody a teaching and learning environment to foster critical
thinking, research and inquiry throughout academic and clinical experiences,
thereby instilling the principles of life-long learning.
• Promote evidence-based practice in the application of research
in clinical services, and thereby adhere to the highest standards of science
and efficacy.
• Participate in international study and clinical exchange opportunities
in communication sciences and disorders, with a focus on the promotion
of an international worldview for our profession that is inclusive of
all peoples and cultures.
