Master of Health Science in Communication Disorders

Speech-language pathologists change lives by helping people communicate, an ability many of us take for granted. Enter this rewarding and demanding field with Governors State’s Master of Health Sciences in Communication Disorders, a rigorous graduate program that enables you to assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent communication disorders among children and adults.

In our uniquely designed MHS in Communication Disorders program, you will obtain the skills needed to enter the profession with the background and experiences you need to step into real-world employment. Unlike most speech-language pathology programs, our MHS has been developed and accredited without its own clinic, so all of your practicum work will be completed through our network of more than 150 practicum sites, providing a wide range of real-world experiences beyond the campus and in the types of communities you’ll be working in. You’ll gain experience in medical and school settings, putting your education to the test while gaining invaluable experience, and proving your abilities.

Applicants must:

• Have completed a bachelor’s degree in communication disorders, or its equivalent, at a university with regional accreditation;
• Have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in all undergraduate coursework
• Complete the application materials of the Department of Communication Disorders through Central Application Service for Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSDCAS).
