Consecutive MA/PhD degree

The CMSD program currently offers a consecutive MA/Ph.D. program in Speech-Language Pathology for individuals who are interested in the Ph.D., but have not completed the master’s degree. With this program, the student will enroll in the MA courses, while beginning Ph.D. requirements as well. This will allow overlap of the two programs and for completing a doctorate in a timely manner (~5 -6 years).

To apply to this program, complete the MA application, and note on the application that you are applying for the combined program, and note potential area of interest. This may or may not include clinical work, depending on your area of interest.

Please see the degree requirements for both the master’s and doctoral programs for more details. A formal sponsor as specified in the doctoral application information is not required; however, due to the individualized nature of this program, applicants are encouraged to speak with the Graduate Coordinator before submitting an application.

At the discretion of the admissions committee, a personal interview may also be required.
