The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) houses pre-professional training programs for students interested in pursuing careers in speech-language pathology, audiology, or other related fields. Our Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program, housed within the CSD Department, is accredited by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and prepares students for state licensure, professional certification, and the preliminary Speech Services teaching credential. Upon completion of the program, students will have completed academic coursework and at least 400 practicum hours in preparation to begin their career as a speech-language pathologist. Graduates may choose career paths within the full spectrum of professional practice including education, healthcare, or private practice settings.
Our faculty are committed to providing excellent classroom and clinical instruction. Students enjoy learning about the professions through the lens of a Christian worldview and by faculty who are experts in their respective fields.
