The UH COMD master's program, like all accredited programs, must provide a range of courses and clinical experiences so that students obtain knowledge and skills that span the “Big 9” disorders identified by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CAA). We understand that some students wish to specialize and obtain more in-depth, focused learning with a particular population or disorder area.

To provide a way to obtain some specialized learning, we offer Specialty Concentrations. A Specialty Concentration is a mentored experience designed individually for each student. Concentrations are optional and require work above and beyond that expected of the master’s program. Interested students will meet with a faculty mentor and develop a plan that includes all required elements and deadlines.

More detailed information can be found in the Graduate Program Handbook.
