The faculty of communicative disorders is primarily responsible for interdisciplinary clinical teaching and research for the Colleges of Health Related Professions, Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing in aspects of speech pathology and audiology related to the professional degree programs of these colleges. Courses and degrees with concentrations in speech pathology and audiology are offered by the Department of Speech in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The descriptive listings of courses in speech pathology and audiology may be found under Department of Speech in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. The following courses are customarily taught by faculty of the College of Health Related Professions who also hold appointments in the Department of Speech.

The Department of Computer and Information Sciences offers the Master of Science degree. Students may enroll in any one of three colleges-Business Admin- istration, Engineering, or Liberal Arts and Sciences. Areas of specialization include computer organization, information systems, and software systems. These specializations permit study in a wide range of areas in- cluding programming languages, database management, software engineering, graphics, pattern recognition, business information systems, operating systems, com- pilers, performance measurement, artificial intelligence, architectures, etc. Applications for admission must be approved by both the department and the college in which the student wishes to enroll. Students without undergraduate degrees in computer and information sciences may be admitted to the program but be required to take a program of specified courses for which they will not receive graduate credit. These remedial programs will typically involve 13 hours of course work. Students who wish to obtain a degree from a college other than the one from which they received their undergraduate degrees and students with inadequate backgrounds in mathematics and statistics will be required to do additional remedial work specified by the department's graduate coordinator and approved by the new college. The remedial work will generally include core requirements for the new college. All students must satisfy a core requirement by com- pleting four specified graduate level courses (12 credits) or their approved equivalents. Students must maintain an average of at least 3.0 on the core courses, and no more than one course out of the four may have a grade below B. An additional 12 credits of course work must be taken which includes six graduate level credits in courses designed for a selected area of specialization within computer and information sciences and at least six credits from courses offered by some other depart- ment in the college in which the student is enrolled. All students are also required to take a one-credit seminar and write a thesis. A minimum of five credit hours must be taken in CIS 6971. No foreign language is required. The Dean for Graduate Studies and Research, acting on the recommendation of the Chairman of the CIS Department and the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled, will appoint a supervisory commit- tee for each student consisting of two members of the CIS graduate faculty and one member of the graduate faculty of some other department from the college. Each student will be required to pass a written comprehen- sive examination administered twice a year by the depart- ment. The Center for Information Research, the Database Systems Research and Development Center, and a number of other campus research centers provide oppor- tunities for students enrolled in the program.
