Communication Sciences and Disorders
Program Options

Master's of Science
The Master's of Science program was created to provide a solid foundation of required courses to prepare students to provide assessment and treatment of pediatric and adult clients.  Students choose electives in areas of interest such as autism, hearing loss, adult disorders or multicultural populations.  All clinical hours are obtained in the community in sites such as hospitals, schools or clinics so students receive real world experience.

Students may complete the master's program full- or part-time and a program of study may be started in the fall semester.

Prep-Track
Do you have a bachelor's degree in something other than Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD)? Are you thinking about changing careers? The Rockhurst CSD program has launched a post-bachelor's Prep Track especially for you that will allow you to obtain a master's degree in three years!

Once accepted into the graduate program, the prep track provides the opportunity for those individuals — recent graduates as well as non-traditional students — who hold undergraduate degrees in disciplines other than CSD to complete all required undergraduate coursework related to CSD during two semesters of coursework.  You are then guaranteed a place in the next year's graduate class to allow you to complete your master's degree.
