Overview
Education
Each doctoral student has a mentor who acts as the student’s primary advisor and teacher. During the first two years of doctoral study, the student and mentor put together a doctoral committee that includes at least two additional faculty members in the department.
Students from the Communication Sciences and Disorders program at Louisiana State University also may elect to have faculty from other departments, programs, or centers (e.g., Psychology, Family Studies, Life Course and Aging, Linguistics, Education Leadership, Psychology, and Social Policy) join their committees. This committee will review and approve the student’s doctoral work on an annual basis through an annual report mechanism.
The doctoral committee is usually comprised of faculty members who share research interests with the student.
To be accepted into the doctoral program, a faculty member must indicate that he or she wants to work closely with you. Individuals who are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree at LSU should contact one or two specific faculty members from our department whom he or she thinks would be an appropriate mentor.
All applicants are expected to interview (either in person or by telephone) with their potential mentors. It is also highly recommended that applicants meet their future mentor(s) prior to acceptance into our program; such meetings may occur during a visit to LSU or at a research conference.
