| Hearing and Speech Science Program Description |
| The Master of Arts in Hearing and Speech Sciences is a companion degree program to two existing doctoral programs, the Ph.D. in Hearing and Speech Sciences and an accredited professional Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.), offered within the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences (HESP) within the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park. The M.A. will not have a direct admission process, but is an optional credential for students who have been admitted to either of the two doctoral programs. The curriculum consists of 36 graduate credits from <br>the existing courses in the two doctoral programs and can be completed in two years. Students may either complete a scholarly project (either thesis or capstone research project), or pass a set of written comprehensive examinations, to satisfy the M.A. requirements. |
