Graduate Program of Study
Program of Study for Master of Science Degree (M.S.) in Speech-Language Pathology
The Master of Science Degree (M.S.) typically requires the equivalent of five full-time semesters to complete for students with undergraduate degrees in communication sciences and disorders. For students entering the program with undergraduate degrees in fields other than speech-language pathology, prerequisite courses must be completed prior to enrolling in graduate coursework. The course of study for out-of-field students will require one to two additional semesters to complete. For all students, the final semester involves a full-time internship.
