CSD_MA - Communication Sciences and Disorders (M.A.)

Program Information

The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences offers a Master of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders. A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree is offered through the Rehabilitation Sciences Doctor of Philosophy Program: Communication and Swallowing Sciences and Disorders (CSSD) concentration. For more information about a Ph.D. in Speech Pathology and Audiology related topics, see https://rehabsci.phhp.ufl.edu/programs/course-requirements/communication-and-swallowing-sciences-and-disorders-track/

The Master of Arts program is designed to prepare students for entry-level professional practice in speech-language pathology. The program offers students a comprehensive learning experience - one that combines active classroom-based learning with an assortment of “hands on” learning opportunities at the many clinical sites available on or near the University of Florida campus. Graduates of the program can expect to develop the knowledge and skills that are needed to deliver evidence-based clinical services to a wide range of populations in a variety of clinical settings. The Master of Arts program is primarily oriented toward developing students’ clinical competence; however, students who elect to enter the “thesis track” of the program have the opportunity to conduct original research in laboratory and real-world settings under the mentorship of faculty who are widely recognized for their research contributions.
