Overview

The doctorate in Speech-Language Pathology (SLPD) from University of Kansas is primarily for students engaged in clinical practice who want to acquire additional knowledge and skills in a focused area of speech-language pathology.

Features

The emphasis is on being a good consumer of research, rather than on conducting the research, in addition to developing leadership skills.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

In collaboration with a mentor, doctoral students create a personalized plan of study based on their interests.

All students complete an evidence-based course sequence and a capstone project of their own design.

Remaining elective courses are taken within and outside of the department and are tailored to the student’s interests and career goals.

A dissertation is not required for this program. However, students will complete a capstone project.

Most students choose long-term investigative projects relating to their professional interests that offer clinical applicability in the work setting.

Capstone projects will be in written form with a final presentation to the student’s committee. The project must also include a plan for dissemination to relevant audiences/readers.
