The Master of Health Science (MHS) in 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 SLHS 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 SLHS/CSD. 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 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 SLHS.
