Speech-Language-Hearing Science M.A.

The Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences offers an MA with three tracks: speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech-language-hearing sciences; however, the department only accepts MA applications for the speech-language pathology track. The speech-language pathology track focuses on meeting standards for certification as a speech-language pathologist by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. It emphasizes outcome-based learning activities that prepare graduates to interpret research findings and incorporate them into clinical practice. Coursework and clinical education focus on diagnostic, rehabilitative techniques and technology, counseling approaches, and human development.

Individuals interested in pursuing an advanced degree in audiology should apply directly to the audiology AuD program. Students admitted to the AuD are eligible to apply for the MA with an audiology track.

The Master of Arts (MA) education program in speech-language pathology at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2200 Research Boulevard #310, Rockville, Maryland 20850, 800-498-2071 or 301-296-5700.
