Overview
Completion of the master of science degree in ComD will result in the completion of all
requirements for the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology
(CCC-SLP) pending the completion of a Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY). Upon completion of the
program, you will be eligible to start your CFY and you will have met the requirements for a
Utah school license.
Students entering the program with all undergraduate prerequisite courses completed typically
take six semesters to complete the program, with spring and summer terms counting together as
one semester. All students are required to complete all required courses, clinical assignments,
and a thesis.
The program is divided into roughly three equal areas: academic coursework, clinical practicum,
and the thesis. It is strongly recommended that a student does not leave the geographical area
or obtain full-time employment until all of the program requiremnets have been met. To do so
will lead to increased time-to-graduation, sometimes up to one year.
