Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Sciences and Disorders
The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students for careers in academic, research, and/or advanced clinical practice settings within communication sciences and disorders. We seek highly motivated students with research interests related to one or more of the following areas: child language and literacy, acquired cognitive-linguistic impairments in adults, speech perception and production, speech and language development in infants, stuttering, treatment of speech and language impairments, neuroimaging of brain function, and cross-linguistic analyses. Our department at Wayne State University is located in close proximity to a large array of clinical and research facilities, including several major metropolitan health centers (http://www.dmc.org/locations/parking/, http://www.henryfordhealth.org/pop_up.htm).
New Ph.D. students begin in the Fall semester and must complete a seminar specifically designed for incoming students. Admission to the Ph.D. program is based on successful completion of the M.A. or M.S. degree, a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and GRE scores.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Ph.D. program, please do not hesitate to contact the Ph.D. Admissions Coordinator at PhDinCSD@wayne.edu. Additional information is also provided in our PhD Handbook. If you are contacting the PhD Coordinator, please provide you preferred method of contact (telephone or email) as well as information on how to reach you. The coordinator will speak with you about the program and your research interests, and will arrange for you to meet with a faculty member with expertise in your area of interest. If your research interests overlap with the research conducted in our department, you will be asked to submit additional application materials.
