The Department of Communication Disorders offers an undergraduate major and a graduate major in communication disorders. Students who have an undergraduate degree in any field from an accredited university are encouraged to apply for entrance into the graduate program. Prerequisite course work is incorporated into the student's graduate planned program. Students may choose full-time or part-time study; however, the last two semesters of the program must be full-time in order to complete two off-campus clinical practica (typically 40 hours per week).
