| Hello and welcome to the Department of Communication Disorders. Our goal is to educate and train the best speech-language pathologists possible! The program here in San Marcos is an exciting one, with great faculty and terrific facilities. We have the latest technology, modern classrooms and a state-of-the-art clinic on campus. We see individuals of all ages with many different types of communication disorders, including children on the autism spectrum, and those with reading/writing problems. We also have a very strong bilingual track at the graduate level which includes specialized classes and on- and off-campus experiences with monolingual Spanish and bilingual (English-Spanish) clients. In addition, we have over 60 off-campus clinical sites in Central Texas and as far south as the valley where our graduate students expand their clinical knowledge. We offer an undergraduate degree in Communication Disorders and a Master of Arts or Master of Science degree in Communication Disorders. Currently, we have about 70 undergraduate students in the junior/senior sequence and 38 graduate students. We also take about 10 students every year who have undergraduate degrees in a field other than Communication Disorders and are doing background work towards graduate school. There are several scholarships and graduate-assistant positions available to graduate students to help financially. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your goal of becoming a speech-language pathologist. |
