MA/MS in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

The speech-language pathology master of science, formerly communicative disorders, combines comprehensive coursework with strong clinical experience. It sits inside the medical school's otolaryngology department. The program welcomes students with and without an undergraduate degree in the field. Those without a background are placed in a full-time preparatory sequence that starts in the fall. Applicants who already have a speech-language pathology bachelor's or finished the prerequisites enter the core program, a full-time sequence that begins in the summer. The catalog entry lists plan codes, course requirements and academic policies that applicants and current students should review while planning their studies. Students and applicants can use the catalog to compare this program with related offerings at the university and to confirm current policies.
