MA/MS in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

This graduate program in speech-language pathology gives students thorough education across communication, with practical experience assessing patients and delivering therapy. Clinical training is built into the learning. It is accredited by the professional council that oversees audiology and speech-language pathology education. As a member of the college's social and behavioral sciences group, the program looks at communication broadly, covering what communication disorders mean for people and for society, and how they are treated. This master's degree is meant for people whose bachelor's degree is in speech-language pathology. It involves a demanding two-year, full-time course of study, so students should plan to be on campus. Learning takes place in traditional classrooms and through clinical education with mentors at the university's speech and hearing center.
