Graduate students are advised by their faculty mentors. Students should individually consult with faculty academic advisors on a regular basis—not just to pre-register—but also to communicate regularly about progress toward the degree and professional development. Students are free to change advisors at any time prior to preparation for comprehensive examinations, especially as students begin to work with individual faculty in Communication Sciences and Disorders.

For general questions about graduate studies, students may contact the Directors of Graduate Studies for the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders:
