Graduate programs in the Department of Speech lead to Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Students, in con- junction with their supervisory committees, develop graduate programs to meet their specific needs and interests. Major areas of emphasis include audio- logy, communication studies, phonetic science, and speech-language pathology. The master's degree spe- cializations in speech-language pathology and audi- ology are accredited by the Educational Standards Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing As- sociation. Entering graduate students with deficiencies in the majpr area of study must fulfill basic prerequisites to graduate work.
