Online CSD Graduate Curriculum
Standard Track (Graduate Program)
Baylor's online speech-language pathology graduate program is for students who earned (or are in the process of earning) a bachelor’s degree (BA or BS) in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) or students who have successfully completed their leveling program. A full-time (5 trimesters, approximately 20 months) and part-time (7 trimesters, approximately 28 months) option are available.
Leveling Track (Graduate Program)
Baylor also offers a pathway for students interested in the online graduate program who do not have an undergraduate CSD degree. A student who has been accepted into the Baylor program but does not have an undergraduate CSD degree or courses within the last five years is considered a graduate student with leveling status. These students are required to complete specific courses—offered through Baylor—for state licensure and professional certification, before beginning graduate coursework.
Clinical Experiences
Throughout their time in Baylor University's online Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders program, students will complete three clinical practica and one clinical internship, totaling a minimum of 400 clinical clock hours and eight credit hours. Each clinical experience places the student in a different setting, which may include but is not limited to hospital/rehabilitation, private practice, and/or public schools.
