Our masters program involves both coursework exploring the nature, diagnosis, and treatment of communication disorders across the lifespan and hands-on training in the department's in-house and external pediatric and adult clinical practicum sites. Our masters students are encouraged to become involved in cutting-edge research with the program's internationally-recognized research faculty. Our program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Our students may have opportunities that include the Aphasia Clinic, the Cochlear Implant Habilitation Program, the Autism Clinic Extension, Diamond Children's/University of Arizona Medical Center, Chapel Haven West, The Child Language Center/Wings on Words Program, the ALS/MDA Clinic located at University of Arizona Medical Center, and and working with clients with AAC. We have many additional opportunities not listed here.
We offer a traditional two-year MS program for students with a background in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences as well a three-year MS program designed for students with a background in another area of study. Determination of the two-year vs. three-year track is made by the faculty based on a review of each application.
