The Communication Sciences and Disorders M.A. program aims to train future speech-language pathologists dedicated to enhancing, maintaining, and optimizing communication and swallowing abilities for individuals seeking improvement.
Our objective is to develop highly skilled professionals ready for diverse educational and healthcare environments, known for their expertise, ethical practice, leadership qualities, dedication to service, and commitment to continuous learning. We achieve this by cultivating students' ability to independently create and implement culturally aware, research-backed clinical services for those with communication or swallowing challenges. To support this mission, we offer exceptional academic and clinical training guided by globally respected faculty, incorporating innovative research, interactive learning, personalized mentorship, and active community involvement.
While focusing primarily on clinical skill development, our program also provides numerous avenues for students to explore fundamental and practical research. Those choosing the thesis option undertake original investigations in both laboratory and real-world environments, guided by faculty members renowned for their scholarly contributions.
This full-time M.A. program is structured to be completed over five consecutive semesters.
