Graduate Student

Research and Presentations

All graduate students enroll in a research methods course (CDS 5000) followed by either a clinical research experience course (CDS 5001) or an individualized independent research study course (CDS 5850) with a mentoring faculty member. During these courses, students develop and implement a clinically-based research project and present results from their project at the university research symposium. Some students also present results from the research project at the conference of the Illinois Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ISHA) and/or the national conference of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
