Faculty & Staff
At the University of Northern Iowa, your professors are scholars who put teaching first. They emphasize learning — both inside and outside the classroom — that will help you connect your education to the real world.
In our department, we're fortunate to have faculty in areas of the discipline that represent critical needs, such as: bilingual speech-language pathology, early intervention, technology for individuals with complex communication needs, feeding and swallowing disorders, voice therapy, and more.
