Graduate programs in the Department lead to Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in communication processes and disorders. Students may pursue areas of specialty in communication.sciences and disorders or communication studies. Major areas of emphasis in communication sciences and disorders include audiol- ogy, phonetic science, and speech-language pathology. Major areas of emphasis in communication studies in- clude communication theory, interpersonal communica- tion, and health communication. Students, in conjunc- tion with their supervisory committees, develop graduate programs to meet their specific needs and interests. The master's degree specializations in speech-language pa- thology and audiology are accredited by the Educational Standards Board of the American Speech-Language- Hearing Association. Students must contact the Graduate Coordinator to obtain information about specific specialty requirements. Entering graduate students with deficiencies in the major area of study must fulfill basic prerequisites to graduate work.
