The master’s degree in speech-language pathology is 39 credit hours, with 34 academic credits and 5 clinical practicum credit hours.

All coursework, with the exception of the research paper and/or thesis, must be completed prior to beginning the offsite practicum. All prospective speech-language graduate students are required to begin the master’s program in the fall semester because course work is sequential and comprehensive. Students are required to purchase and participate in an electronic portfolio system in order to help document competencies related to standards outlined by ASHA as well as an electronic system to track client contact hours. In addition, students must successfully complete a comprehensive examination to qualify for graduation with a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology.
