HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s speech-language pathology graduate program
was named among the top in the nation in rankings recently released by U.S. News and
World Report.
Southeastern was among the top 200 in the country based on the results of peer
assessment surveys sent to deans, other administrators and/or faculty at accredited
degree programs or schools. All peer surveys were conducted by the market research
firm Ipsos Public Affairs.
Jacqueline Guendouzi, department head of Communication Sciences and Disorders
said the CSD faculty is committed to training students who will meet the needs of
their future clients.
“When our graduates join the workforce, they will serve vulnerable individuals
of all ages with disorders of speech, hearing, communication, and swallowing that
could affect quality of life,” said Guendouzi. “We are dedicated not only to academic
rigor and ethical practice, but also to providing meaningful and highly diverse clinical
experiences at every level of the program.”
