Contents.Master of Health ScienceThe Master of Health Science (MHS) in Communication Science and Disorders (CSD) within the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) prepares students for professional practice in speech-language pathology. Students in this program receive a strong academic and clinical background in current theory and application in the field of communication disorders from faculty who are committed to excellence in teaching and who are involved in clinical and basic research. Candidates for the MHS degree must complete a minimum of 48 credit hours of graduate coursework plus at least 375 hours of clinical practicum that is supervised by certified clinical faculty. In addition to the MU Speech and Hearing Clinic, the city of Columbia and surrounding communities in mid-Missouri provide for a wide range of clinical practicum opportunities as well as a diverse client population. Students who wish to may also pursue clinical practicum experiences in other geographical locations during their final semester in the program. A thesis option is available for students interested in research and/or further study toward the Doctor of Philosophy degree.The MHS degree in CSD typically takes students two full years to complete (i.e., beginning with a Summer session and ending with a Spring semester for a total of six terms) if their baccalaureate degree is in CSD/SLHS.

If their undergraduate study was in another field, the degree program requires at a minimum 30 additional credit/semester hours of prerequisite coursework. This coursework may be completed through any college or university that offers an undergraduate degree in CSD/SLHS and must include courses in both basic communication sciences and some communication disorders. It is recommended that the student have their prerequisite coursework approved by the Department’s graduate program director prior to application to the MHS degree program. Applicants do not have to complete all prerequisite coursework before applying or starting in the MHS program; however, all students must have successfully completed a baccalaureate degree (in some field) before beginning the MHS program in CSD.

For more information,.MHS graduates are required to meet all academic and clinical requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) awarded by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA). A passing score of 162 on the PRAXIS II Speech-Language Pathology examination is required for graduation from the MHS program in CSD. In addition to serving as the comprehensive examination for masters candidates in CSD, the PRAXIS II also is required for the Certificate of Clinical Competence, for Missouri professional licensure, and for Missouri school certification as a speech-language specialist. For well over 20 years, 100% of all graduates from MU’s CSD program have passed this national exam and our mean and median scores are significantly higher than the national averages. In addition, graduates of the program have enjoyed excellent job opportunities upon graduation, with many having more than one job offer before finishing their master’s program.The CSD MHS program at MU is fairly small and selective. Students benefit from a very low student-faculty ratio, close supervision in the MU Speech and Hearing Clinic, and a challenging yet supportive learning environment. Faculty in SLHS are easily accessible, and strong student-faculty relationships are easily developed.The SLHS department welcomes all visitors interested in meeting our faculty and students and touring our facilities.

Clinical Practicum OpportunitiesOur graduate program is committed to intensive clinical supervision within our own, which serves a clientele with a wide variety of disorders across the lifespan. Graduate students begin their clinical experiences within our in-house clinic during their first fall semester in the program. Also housed within the department are the and the.

Our department also employs two clinical supervisors at the, which extends early clinical practicum opportunities, both for therapy and diagnostic evaluations, to this excellent training resource. Students remain within these supportive environments gaining a wide range of pediatric and adult experiences throughout their first year in the program. We supplement this training with a broad range of outplacement experiences beginning in the second year. During the fall semester of that second year, students complete a mini-outplacement in a local medical or school setting while continuing to work with clients in-house. Finally, during the spring semester of their second year, students complete two full-time, eight-week outplacement in two distinctly different clinical settings, typically one working with children and the other with adults. While we have plenty of outplacement opportunities locally, these outplacement’s may be completed nearly anywhere within the nation.
