TC Communication Sciences and Disorders Program

Speech science begins here. The TC Communication Sciences and Disorders Program operates from a quiet corner of Morningside Heights, where theory meets clinical practice. Room 1161 at 528 W 121st St houses classrooms, research labs, and training clinics that prepare students for careers in audiology, speech-language pathology, and related fields. Faculty and graduate candidates collaborate on projects covering language development, fluency disorders, voice science, and neurogenic communication disorders—topics that shape how New Yorkers of all ages access care across the city. Directions to the program’s offices can be found on the map. Those with questions about admissions, research opportunities, or community outreach may call the department directly. The building sits steps from Columbia’s main campus, where the hum of academic life blends with the neighborhood’s steady rhythm.
