![]() Students must be employed in a school setting and will complete a modified course sequence across eight consecutive semesters. Participating school districts in the Central Florida Consortium are Brevard, Citrus, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia. The Consortium track is a cooperative effort between the UCF School of Communication Sciences and Disorders and the Central Florida Public School Consortium to address the critical shortage of public school speech-language pathologists in the area. Students must begin the program in the semester for which they are admitted and must enroll full-time each semester. For students with undergraduate degrees in other majors (out-of-field), the program requires additional prerequisite coursework. The Traditional track is a two-year, full-time face-to-face program (six consecutive semesters, including two summers) for students with undergraduate degrees in communication sciences and disorders or speech-language pathology and audiology. Most students complete the program in two years. Thesis students take 6 credit hours of thesis and one elective course (3 credit hours). The Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) master’s program consists of a minimum of 72 credit hours, including 38 credit hours of core academic courses, 9 credit hours of electives, and 25 credit hours of clinical practice. Following completion of the master’s degree, some graduates continue on to pursue doctorate degrees. Students learn from SLPs in the community through our robust internship program that includes more than 200 practicum/internship sites throughout the greater Orlando area and the state of Florida. In this program, you will gain knowledge and skills which are applied directly through hands-on experiences working alongside clinical faculty in the UCF Communication Disorders Clinic. SLPs work with children, adolescents and adults who experience a variety of communication and associated disorders. Through this clinical master’s degree program, students are prepared to become speech-language pathologists (SLPs) for work in early intervention, schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, community clinics and private practices.
