You can still make an impact on Butler students!
Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences

SLHS boasts a 100% graduate school placement rate over the past five years, in part because of your generosity and commitment to our classrooms, clinics, and approach to helping local families address issues within speech, language, and hearing health. 


SLHS has strong ties to Butler’s National Student Speech-Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) chapter that provides a variety of social, academic, and professional support, and the American Sign-Language (ASL) Club, who annually sign the National Anthem at a Butler men’s home basketball game, providing even more community and experiential opportunities within this important course of study.


Our active community thrives with engaged students that work with real clients as early as their first year at Butler. There are multiple cutting-edge research opportunities with faculty and unmatched undergraduate clinical practicum experiential learning opportunities with our on-campus speech-language clinic, community preschool speech-language hearing screening events, the Butler Early Learning and Literacy (BELL) preschool program, and our Butler Aphasia Community. SLHS has up to five clinical experiences for undergraduate students, which is unique for undergraduate programs in the country.
