Overview

Program Description The Communication Sciences and Disorders graduate program will prepare students for a career in a variety of settings such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and private practice. They will complete course work and clinical experiences. Their knowledge and skills acquisition (KASA) will be documented in line with American Speech-Language-Hearing Association certification standards. The Master of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders is subdivided into Phase I and Phase II. A student must have applied and been accepted into the CSD graduate program in order to complete courses in either phase of the degree program. Admission standards and application deadlines are the same for students accepted into Phase I and Phase II. Students begin study at Phase I if they are accepted into the graduate program without an undergraduate degree or preparation in the professional discipline or with less than 25 credits of CSD course work. Students with an undergraduate major or minor in communication disorders initiate study at Phase II. This program has the following highlights: Offered in two phases to accommodate both students who had clinical experience as an undergrad and those who did not. Eight to 10 graduate assistantships available each year. Graduates are eligible to apply for Minnesota Department of Education and/or Minnesota Department of Health licensure as speech-language pathologists. Students provide diagnostic and therapy services in speech-language pathology and audiology for children and adults through the university's Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic. Small program atmosphere where students get to know their peers and professors
