Non-Clinical M.S. in Hearing, Speech and Language Sciences
The non-clinical M.S. in Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences provides, at the discretion of the department, a degree in Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences for full-time students who will not pursue the standard curriculum in audiology or speech-language pathology that would lead to obtaining the credentials required for clinical practice (e.g. ASHA certification, state licensure, etc.). Interested students should contact the department for details about this program.
