MA/MS in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

This Wayne State master's degree in speech-language pathology is the entry-level qualification needed to work as a clinician in this field. The department also supplies a graduate handbook and student achievement data. It is designed so graduates can meet national certification requirements and Michigan licensure requirements. The curriculum explores language, voice and fluency through both theory and application, guided by faculty with research and clinical experience. Clinical training and research opportunities are part of the experience, and the department emphasizes diversity and inclusivity in preparing students to serve people across the lifespan. Applicants whose bachelor's degree is in another field can first complete the department's post-bachelor program, which covers the prerequisites for admission to the master's. The department also provides a graduate handbook, career outlook and student achievement data for prospective students.
