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 com- munication sciences and disorders include audiology, pho- netic science, and speech-language pathology. Major areas of emphasis in communication studies include communi- cation theory, interpersonal communication, and health communication. Students, in conjunction with their super- visory committees, develop graduate programs to meet their specific needs and interests. The master's degree specializations in speech-language pathology and audiol- ogy are accredited by the Educational Standards Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Students must contact the appropriate graduate coordi- natorto obtain information about specific specialty require- ments. Entering graduate students with deficiencies in the major area of study must fulfill basic prerequisites to graduate work.
