Advising and Student Handbook

Advising

Graduate students will attend group advising meetings held with the Graduate Coordinator every semester. Each student is assigned to an individual academic advisor and is encouraged to reach out to their individual academic advisors for any additional needs. For each semester during matriculation, the Graduate Coordinator holds a group advising meeting for each cohort. Topics include any key announcements, Graduate Plan of Study form, a check on progress with student knowledge and skills acquisition (KASA) outcome acquisition, course registration for the upcoming semester, program expectations, graduate procedures, and open Q & A. Contact Graduate Program Coordinator, Dr. Bruce Poburka bruce.poburka@mnsu.edu.

Program Progression/Retention

Students must complete a 52-credit program consisting of didactic and clinical coursework, including successful completion of the capstone. All coursework must be completed within the academic policies set forth by the College of Graduate Studies and the University. Program requirements also include knowledge and skills outcomes required for eventual clinical certification by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Students are also subject to certain core functions that are deemed essential to professional practice in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. Details are outlined in a matriculation agreement that is presented to students upon enrollment. Reasonable accommodations will be provided to any student upon request to facilitate achievement of all academic, clinical, and core functions.
