The department of Applied Human Sciences offers a Master of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. The goal of the CSD program is to educate clinicians who are competent to help children and adults with difficulties in any aspect of oral and written communication or swallowing (i.e., speech-language pathology). The master’s degree program is a full-time, two-year program, starting either in the summer/fall or spring semesters.
The objectives of this professional education program are to:
1. Prepare speech-language pathologists to fill diverse roles in the broad area of speech-language pathology and in a variety of professional environments consistent with evidence-based practice;
2. Provide the student with knowledge about the changing role of the speech-language pathologist within our society and with opportunities to learn how research informs that change;
3. Facilitate an interdisciplinary view of disorders of human communication;
4. Provide speech-language pathologists with the coursework and practicum experiences needed to meet national standards for clinical knowledge and skills and to earn the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) awarded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
