Program Overview:

As part of the School of Education, the department takes part in the Professional Qualities Assessment (PQA) process, which is consistent with the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department’s belief that interpersonal communication and professionalism are key attributes for professional practice in communication disorders. Information about the PQA process will be provided to students during their first semester of study. In addition, the Communication Sciences and Disorders program is a competency-based program. Therefore, students will be involved in a sequence of field experiences, many of which are off campus. The sequence of required fieldwork is as follows:
