University of Southern California Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology Program combines strong academic, clinical and research-based training to provide an exceptional education for entry-level speech-language pathologists. Through innovative teaching and comprehensive training experiences, our students are fully prepared to practice in both health care and education settings. Our full-time, intensive program operates under a cohort model, with 25 students accepted into the cohort through our application process. (See\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/speech-language-pathology-ms-program\/admissions\/\">admissions<\/a> page). Students follow the course sequence as a cohort, completing academic and clinical requirements over the course of two years in six semesters. Students gain community-based clinical experiences within the greater Los Angeles area. Students benefit from interprofessional experiences in academic and clinical settings, while developing the knowledge and skills identified by the Council of Academic Accreditation (CAA) in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology and in the 2020 Council for Clinical Certification (CFCC) 2020 Standards of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion of the program, students are prepared to take and pass the Praxis Examination, apply for the Speech-Language Pathology Credential through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), apply for the Required Professional Experience (RPE) for a state license in speech-language pathology in California, and apply for a Clinical Fellowship (CF) through ASHA, leading to earning a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n   aria-label=\"Content Accordions\"\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Plan of Study\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-aZPoldIn8E\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-aZPoldIn8E\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Year 1<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-aZPoldIn8E\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-aZPoldIn8E\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h4>FALL<\/h4>\n<p><strong>OHNS 500: Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology for Speech, Language and Hearing<\/strong> | <em>3 units<br \/>\n<\/em>Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, with a focus on basic human communication and swallowing processes, specifically pertaining to disorders and differences in speech, language and hearing.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>OHNS 501: Speech Sound Disorders<\/strong>\u00a0| <em>3 units<br \/>\n<\/em>Focus on speech-sound production, assessment and treatment of childhood articulation and phonological disorders, emphasizing the study of efficient and effective procedures and service-delivery models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OHNS 502: Language and Literacy Disorders<\/strong>\u00a0| <em>3 units<br \/>\n<\/em>Focus on language and literacy disorders in children starting from birth through adolescence.
