Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is a discipline in human sciences and services offering rewarding careers in speech-language pathology. Employment opportunities are commonly available in schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and private practice. The master's program, when combined with students' undergraduate preparation, leads to the academic and practicum requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in speech-language pathology issued by the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). Effective January 1, 1994, all graduate work applied toward the CCC must have been initiated and completed at a program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of ASHA.
