4Procedures and Requirements for Admission to the DepartmentAdmission to the MS ProgramI.Admission Status ClassificationsApplicants must meet the following departmental requirements in addition to therequirements for admission to Graduate Studies at UNL(http://www.unl.edu/gradstudies/bulletin):A. Full Graduate Standing – Minimum standards are: Acceptable Verbal, Quantitative, andAnalytical Writing Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores; overall undergraduateGPA of 3.0; three letters of recommendation attesting to the student's ability to completea program of graduate studies; and an undergraduate degree in speech-languagepathology and audiology.B. Provisional Graduate Standing – A student may occasionally be admitted provisionally,because he/she lacks prerequisite courses or does not meet GPA or GRE requirements.A student admitted provisionally can attain full standing by satisfying the specificconditions of the provisional admission. In such cases, the Department GraduateCommittee will stipulate what the student must do to achieve full graduate standing.C. Non-degree, Post Baccalaureate – This registration status is for students who satisfyminimum Graduate Studies admission standards but are not working toward anadvanced degree. Non-degree students who wish to be considered for admission to theMS program in Speech-Language Pathology must formally apply through the GraduateStudies Office and be recommended by the Communication Disorders DepartmentGraduate Committee. Credits obtained as a non-degree graduate student may beconsidered for the master's degree program when appropriate. However, usually nomore than 6 hours of class work during the period when the student has non-degreestatus will be accepted toward fulfilling graduate program requirements. Non-degreestudents are not eligible for enrollment in Clinical Practicum classes.II. ProceduresA. Application to the UNL Office of Graduate Studies – Applications can be completedonline at www.unl.edu/gradstudies via the MyRed system. Applicants pay the applicationfee and upload transcripts during this process. International students must also submitofficial TOEFL scores and the Financial Resource Certification form. The Office ofGraduate Studies can be reached for questions at (402) 472-2875 or graduate@unl.edu.B. Application to the Communication Disorders Department – An applicant will use GAMES(Graduate Application Management & Evaluation System) to submit all departmentalapplication requirements electronically including a resume/curriculum vita, a personalstatement, official GRE scores, and contact information for three individuals who will writeletters of recommendation for the applicant. Letters of recommendation should be fromindividuals in a position to judge the applicant's potential for graduate study, preferablyprofessors, classroom instructors, and/or clinical supervisors.When deemed necessary, students making application from other educationalinstitutions will be asked to forward to the Communication Disorders GraduateCommittee catalog descriptions or syllabi of courses they have completed. Summariesof clinical practicum performed must show that the hours were obtained under thesupervision of an individual who holds a certificate of clinical competence (CCC-SLPand/or CCC-AuD) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

5C. Official notification concerning the status of the application will come from the GraduateStudies Office and the Communication Disorders Graduate Committee.III. Lateral Entry Speech-Language Pathology StudentsA. A student wishing to pursue graduate study in speech-language pathology who has anundergraduate degree in an area other than speech-language pathology is classified asa “lateral entry student.”1. Lateral entry students must complete undergraduate coursework specific to thespeech-language pathology profession before they are eligible to apply to thegraduate program. They can enroll at UNL as post-baccalaureate, non-degreeseeking students uage-pathology/to fulfill the undergraduate requirements, or they can take comparable courses atanother institution.2. Other admission requirements include a passing scores on the Core Academic SkillsTest for Educators: Combined Test (https://www.ets.org/praxis/ne/requirements/)and scores obtained within the past 10 years for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)(http://gre.org).B. Prerequisite coursework for lateral entry students seeking admission to UNL’s graduateprogram fall into three categories:1. Courses required by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) for teachercertification2. General education courses required by ASHA3. Courses specific to the speech-language pathology professionC. Lateral entry students must have completed all prerequisite courses marked with anasterisk (*) with a grade of C or better by the end of the semester during which theyapply for admission to the graduate program. Having the majority of the remainingprerequisite courses completed is highly recommended. Depending on the number ofincomplete prerequisite courses and as a condition for admission into the graduateprogram, the Department may require some lateral entry students enroll in and passwith a B or better certain perquisite courses during the summer before beginning thegraduate program.a. Courses required by NDE: Foundations of Education Developmental Psychology Learning in the Classroom Human Relationsb. General education courses required by ASHA: At least one physics or chemistry course* At least one biology, anatomy, or physiology course* At least one sociology course (e.g., anthropology, psychology,sociology)* At least one college-level statistics course*c. Courses specific to the speech-language pathology profession: SLPA 250 Phonetics* SLPA 251 Normal Language Development Preschool* SLPA 271 Introduction to Audiology* SLPA 397A Clinical Observation* SLPA 421 Professional Issues* SLPA 441 Methods for Communication Disability Specialists* SLPA 453 Neurological Foundations of Speech & Language SLPA 454/854 Research Methods

6SLPA 455 Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech and HearingMechanism* SLPA 456 Speech and Hearing Science* SLPA 461/861 Preschool Language Disorders* SLPA 464 Phonological Disorders SLPA 472 Aural Rehabilitation*IV. Policy on the Application Process for Students Transferring to UNLA. Graduate students enrolled in an ASHA-accredited graduate education program at aninstitution other than UNL will be considered for admission as a transfer student to theUNL program if the following conditions are met:1. The student must petition the Communication Disorders Graduate GovernanceCommittee to request consideration for admission as a transfer student. In thepetition letter, the student must specify why he/she is requesting a transfer to the UNLprogram. The student should also provide a summary of coursework and clinicalexperiences acquired at his/her present institutional program.2. The student must submit the standard application materials required of all studentsapplying to the graduate program via the Office of Graduate Studies and the GAMESsystem (see above).3. If admitted, a transfer student must complete at least one fall, spring, or summerclinical practicum assignment in the UNL Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic priorto any off-campus practicum placement.B. Governance Committee Procedures1. Applications from transfer students will be considered on a case-by-case basis andwill only be considered when: (a) openings exist in the program at the time thestudent petitions for admission as a transfer student and (b) the courseworkcompleted by the student closely matches the sequence of courses in the UNLspeech-language pathology graduate program.2. Criteria for admission will be based on the previous year's admission data. That is,the student petitioning for admission must show comparable performance (i.e., at orabove the minimum cut-off scores) to the most recent admission data for studentsadmitted to the program in good standing.3. The Governance Committee will make the final decision about acceptance or denialof the student's petition for admission as a transfer student.4. If admitted, the student will be informed that usually no more than 12 hours ofgraduate coursework from another institution will be accepted as transfer credits.

7Procedures and Requirements for the Degree of Master of SciencesEnrollment and Academic AdvisingI.Initial EnrollmentA. At the beginning of each fall semester, the Department conducts an orientation meetingfor all new graduate students. This provides an opportunity for students to receiveinformation and ask questions about programmatic requirements, clinical practicumprocedures, and other matters important for beginning successful graduate study. Allnew MS graduate students must attend this meeting.B. Prior to or during the first week of enrollment, a student should meet with his/her advisorto develop a plan of study for the fall semester that includes discussion of the programoption (i.e., either thesis (Option I) or non-thesis (Option III)) and anticipated courseworkfor the degree including course deficiencies, if any. Option II, as described in theGraduate Studies Bulletin, is not available for MS students in speech-languagepathology.Students who have been accepted into the graduate program may be allowed to takeclinical practicum and academic coursework the summer prior to their first fall semester,if they have met the prerequisite observation requirements and coursework.II. Candidacy for the Master of Science DegreeBefore a student receives grades for 18 credit hours of graduate level coursework, he/shemust file a Memorandum of Courses ees/masters)with the Dean of GraduateStudies. The MOC specifies the formal Plan of Study for the student and is typically filedduring the first two semesters of enrollment. It specifies the program option (Option I or III)and lists courses taken and/or to be taken as deficiencies, as core requirements for themajor, and as electives. The MOC requires the signature of the student’s advisor and theDepartmental Chair of the Graduate Committee. Filing the MOC in a timely manner is thestudent's responsibility. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in a delay of programcompletion and/or coursework not counting toward the graduate degree.III. Tracking CompetenciesAll students complete coursework and practicum to meet ASHA’s certification requirementsin speech-language pathology. As students advance through the Master’s program, theircumulative progress will be tracked using the online system created by Typhon Group.Upon entrance to the program, students will be given a username, password, andinstructions for using their individual accounts. Each student will be responsible for addingclinic logs to document clinical experiences. Coursework will be entered at the end of eachsemester, so students have access to a record of their competencies. The Department usesTyphon Group data for program tracking.IV. Change of Proposed Plan of StudyOccasionally, a student may need to modify his/her Plan of Study after the MOC has beenfiled with the Dean of Graduate Studies. In such a case, the student should consult withhis/her advisor about possible changes. When these are decided upon, the advisor will emailthe proposed program changes to Jill England at jill.england@unl.edu.

8Program RequirementsI. Program of Study RequirementsA. Master's degree programs meet the academic and clinical requirements for theCertificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) of ASHA, Nebraska licensure, and theNebraska Department of Education teaching endorsement in speech-languagepathology.B. A student, in consultation with his/her advisor, will elect either Option I (thesis program)or Option III (non-thesis program). Completion of all academic and clinical requirementstypically takes two years including at least one summer. A minimum of 45 semesterhours is required for the Master's degree in speech-language pathology.1. Option I (thesis) requires completion of 31 semester hours of core requirements, 6semester hours of Thesis Research, SLPA 899, and 8 semester hours of electives.Students interested in completing a thesis should select a thesis advisor as early intheir program as possible but no later than the end of the first academic year. Once atopic has been identified and its general suitability discussed with the advisor, thestudent is in a position to select a Thesis Committee and begin preparation of thethesis prospectus. The committee, to be selected by the student in consultation withthe student's thesis advisor, must include a thesis advisor from the area of speechlanguage pathology and two other graduate faculty members, one of whom can befrom another department.The thesis prospectus is a crucial step in the thesis writing process. The writtendocument prepared by the student normally contains the following sections: Reviewof Relevant Literature, Statement of the Problem, Proposed Methods andProcedures, Proposed Analysis, and Interpretation of Data.Once the prospectus document is complete and a student has received preliminaryapproval by the thesis advisor, a thesis prospectus meeting will be scheduled. Thestudent gives a copy of the prospectus to the committee members at least two weeksprior to the meeting. At the meeting, the student discusses the prospectus with thecommittee and requests approval for the project. Upon receiving full or qualifiedproject approval from the committee, the process of carrying it through to completionis generally turned over to the student and the thesis advisor. The student isencouraged, of course, to consult with committee members as necessary.Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval must be obtained before doing a study thatinvolves human subjects. Theses involving animals require approval from the UNLAnimal Care Committee. A student should consult with his/her thesis advisor aboutthe necessary steps and procedures to obtain approval.After completing the experimental procedures, a student writes a draft version of theentire thesis document and selects a date and time for the thesis defense mutuallyagreeable to all committee members. To prepare the thesis document, studentsshould follow the guidelines recommended by the Graduate Studies ees/guidelines) and the most currentedition of the American Psychological Association Style Manual.A minimum of two weeks prior to the thesis defense date during the academic year

9and at least one week prior to the thesis defense during the summer, a studentsubmits a copy of the final draft of the thesis to each member of the ThesisCommittee.The student must file a Final Examination ers-FinalExam.pdf) four weeks prior tothe date of oral exam during Fall/Spring semesters and three weeks prior to theexam during Summer sessions. This form must indicate the date and time of theexam as well as the names of the Thesis Committee members.2. Two alternatives are available for students wishing to enroll in an Option III (nonthesis) program: the Evidence-based practice option or the Directed Research option. Allstudents choosing an Option III program will initially be assigned to the Evidencebased practice option (SLPA 870). Students desiring the Directed Researchprogram should approach faculty who may be performing research in a shared areaof interest. Students may wish to approach more than one faculty member aboutDirected Research opportunities. Each faculty member has the right to accept ordecline student participation in a research experience. IF the faculty memberagrees to accept a student’s request for a Directed Research experience, the twowill jointly prepare the Directed Research Agreement Form specifying the criteria forsuccessful completion of research project.a. Option III – Directed research requires completion of 31 semester hours of corerequirements, 2 semester hours of Directed Research, SLPA 896, and 12semester hours of electives. Directed Research may take the form of pilotstudies, studies similar to thesis projects, participation in some facet(s) of afaculty member's research, or single subject design studies.b. Option III – Evidence-based practice requires completion of 31 semester hoursof core requirements, 2 semester hours of Evidence-based Practice, SLPA 870,and 12 semester hours of electives. In the Evidence-based Practice coursestudents identify and weigh levels of evidence relating to clinical and researchactivities. The focus is on developing an understanding of evidence-basedmedicine and outcomes-based education as it applies to the field of speechlanguage pathology.C. Of the minimum number of graduate credits required for completion of the Master'sdegree, at least 18 must be in courses open only to graduate students (900 level coursesor 800 level courses that do not have undergraduate co-listed numbers). A minimumgrade of B is required for any graduate course also open to undergraduates (i.e., 400800 level courses) including courses outside of the major.D. Students must take at least one child-oriented elective and at least one adult-orientedelective as part of their graduate programs. Child-oriented electives include SLPA 851,SLPA 862A, SLPA 862E, SLPA 862J or SPED 809, SPED 806 and 806A or SPED 815and 815A, SLPA 884, SLPA 888, SLPA 930,
