MS in Speech Language Pathology and PhD in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences

The SLHS department offers students with exceptional academic promise and strong motivation for a career in research, the opportunity as a master s degree student to begin work on the research requirements of the doctoral degree program. The student and his/her research mentor in collaboration with the clinical faculty advisor will design a plan of study that provides a synergistic approach to both sets of degree requirements. As the primary goal of the doctoral program is research training and the major research goal of the MS portion of the combined program is to complete a thesis, many of the requirements below parallel those for MS-SLP students who choose the thesis track.
