Communication Sciences and Disorders

The Master of Arts degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (on-campus program) is a five semester curriculum of full-time study. The semesters are consecutive (fall, spring, summer of the first year; and fall and spring of the second year). The graduate program provides students with necessary academic and clinical experience to fulfill the requirements for certification as a speech-language pathologist by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) as well as licensure by the State of Ohio.  A part-time program for graduate study in Communication Sciences and Disorders is not available.

The department maintains student-training liaisons with many hospitals, clinics and schools in the Greater Cleveland area. Students also have the opportunity to gain clinical experience by providing speech, language and audiological services to clients in our state-of-the-art on campus Speech and Hearing Clinic. Students who are admitted to the graduate program generally have high academic and professional success.

CSU also offers a fully online M.A. in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) program to prepare for a career as a professional Speech-Language Pathologist. Learn about the online M.A. CSD program here.
