The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSAD) at Sacramento State provides a Master of Science (M.S.) program in Communication Sciences and Disorders. The CSAD M.S. curriculum is structured for students to start in the fall term and follow a defined course sequence. The program accepts students in two groups. The initial group (Fall Clinical Practica Cohort) commences clinical practice and classes in the fall semester, typically completing the program in at least 4 semesters. The second group (Spring Clinical Practica Cohort) starts coursework in fall but begins clinical practice in spring, usually finishing in no fewer than 5 semesters.
Both student groups undertake three (3) semesters of clinical practice at the on-campus Maryjane Rees Center, plus one (1) or more semesters involving at least two (2) external internship placements.
Sacramento State's Communication Sciences and Disorders Department delivers evaluation and therapy services to the Sacramento region and nearby communities via the Maryjane Rees Center. This facility offers diagnostic and intervention services for diverse children and adults with communication challenges.
A key emphasis of our Center's speech and language therapy has been delivering cutting-edge, research-supported evaluation and treatment approaches to enhance functional communication abilities. All assessments and therapies are performed by graduate student clinicians under close faculty supervision.
