As application season inches closer, you may be thinking about coming to Emerson for your graduate school journey. If you\u2019re interested in learning more about speech pathology, Emerson is the place for you. Today we\u2019re joined by Colleen O\u2019Brien, one of Emerson\u2019s graduate program recruiters, to answer some commonly asked questions about the on-campus Communication Disorders program at Emerson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What makes Emerson\u2019s Communication Disorders programs unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: Emerson\u2019s on-campus Communication Disorders (MS)<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and online version, Speech@Emerson<\/strong><\/a> are unique because  they train students to be generalists. Students in both programs work with the entire spectrum of communication disorders, across all ages, which makes them well-rounded speech-language pathologists. That\u2019s very important because students often come in thinking they want to work with a specific population, and then time and again I hear that they were able to work with another population and changed their mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Who should apply to Emerson\u2019s Communication Disorders program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: Applicants should start by looking at Emerson\u2019s mission statement<\/strong><\/a> and the program\u2019s curriculum to see if this seems like the school for them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career changers are welcome in this program, so students are not required to have a background or bachelor\u2019s in the field. In fact, we encourage students without a CD background to apply. It adds depth to our graduate community having people with different experiences and perspectives in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How big are the cohorts each year?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: While it varies year to year and we aim to recruit as many qualified applicants as possible, we typically enroll 45 new students per year for the on-campus Communication Disorders program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Q: Why should students choose Emerson for their graduate journey?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: I always highlight the community here at Emerson. We have a vibrant graduate student population who are excited to be at Emerson and take what they learn here to pursue their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s the same sense of community within the Communication Disorders department. Students establish personal connections with peers and faculty, especially given the small class sizes. You aren\u2019t just a number in a lecture hall, which helps students develop strong relationships with faculty. The faculty<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>are such a rich resource, with their professional experiences in the field and a wealth of knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q: What are classes like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: Classes in the Communication Disorders program cap at 25 people, making the class sizes supportive of conversation and active student participation. Professors have a variety of clinical and research experiences, making them experts in the field. In addition to classroom instruction, Communication Disorders students get their first clinical experience at Emerson\u2019s on-campus clinic<\/strong><\/a>, where clinical instructors support students every step along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What kinds of jobs do students get after graduating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A: Our Communication Disorders program prepares students to become licensed speech-language pathologists qualified to work in many settings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> Graduates have gone on to work in schools, Early Intervention, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope today\u2019s interview with Colleen has helped answer some of your questions about Emerson\u2019s on-campus Communication Disorders program. For more information about speech pathology at Emerson, schedule a call<\/strong><\/a> with an admissions counselor. You might also read about students\u2019 experiences<\/strong><\/a> on our Communication Disorders page.
