generation of scientists who are interested in applying state-of-the-art
research skills to the study of language and communicative disorders.  Our
interdisciplinary program, the only program of its kind in California, provides
training in normal (spoken and signed) language, language disorders,
multilingualism, and in the neural bases of language learning, use, and
loss.  Our doctoral program ranked fourth on the Faculty Scholarly
Productivity Index rankings compiled by Academic Analytics and released
by <i>The Chronicle of Higher Education </i>in 2007.  The
National Research Council (NRC) ranked our doctoral program among the top ten
in the nation in their most recent rankings.  The majority of our
graduates hold university faculty positions or research scientist positions in
labs here in the US and abroad.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:107%"><br></span></p>
