The program typically takes 2 calendar years to complete. Students usually prepare for service delivery in both school and healthcare clinical settings to maximize career flexibility. Occasionally, students may choose to focus career preparation on just one type of setting.Laboratory and instructional facilities include a speech and language clinic, an instructional communication sciences laboratory, and faculty research laboratories. Research and instructional laboratories contain state-of-the-art technology, a variety of acoustic and physiological measurement systems including a swallow station, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. Students participate in three semesters of on-campus clinic. Students have the opportunity to participate in research through a thesis or research experience, working closely with a faculty mentor.
