717, 790, 799, 802, 804, or 706 OR 660,
whichever was not taken to fulfill the core
requirement), for a total of 37 credits. The
remaining credits will be taken in clinical
practicum. The student, in consultation
with the major advisor, plans the appropriate
practicum courses for on-campus
clinics and off-campus externships to
meet ASHA certification, DPI and Wisconsin
licensure requirements. Only clinical
clock hours for clinical practicum experiences
in which the student has
earned a grade of B or better will apply
toward degree, certification, or licensure
requirements. A student may earn up to 6
credits for a thesis if this option is selected.
Thesis
Optional. Credits earned during the completion
of a thesis may be applied toward
the required four credits of electives.
Research Experience
Students who do not choose the thesis
option are required to engage in a onecredit
research experience. This experience
may involve (but is not limited to) a
small-scale original study, a project related
to the on-going research of a faculty
member, a clinical case study, or a literature
review. Students may work individually
or in pairs. The final product can be
either a research paper or a poster session
presentation.
Knowledge and Skills Acquisition
(KASA) Assessment
All students will be responsible for completion
of the Knowledge and Skills Acquisition
(KASA) assessment, which assesses
student attainment of learning
outcomes in a variety of content areas.
Students who are judged by program faculty
and staff to be deficient in one or
more content areas will be required to
take additional coursework or clinical
practica until their deficiencies have been
satisfied.
Time Limit
The student must complete all degree
requirements within seven years of initial
enrollment.
