Overview

Michigan State University's Communicative Sciences and Disorders program is community-based. They have a network of over 100 off-campus facilities including public schools, hospitals, nursing homes and private clinics, both here in Mid-Michigan and throughout the state, to support the clinical training of the master's students.

Key Facts

The clinical supervisors are working in the field as speech-language pathologists and therefore opportunities for you to apply knowledge learned in the classroom directly to real-world clinical life is abundant. Additionally, the program offers two career-oriented tracks: Plan A is the thesis track, and Plan B is the non-thesis track. Students electing to pursue a thesis will have the opportunity to develop and conduct original research under the mentoring of faculty with substantial scholarly experience. While the non-thesis track offers options for comprehensive elective clinical coursework.
