Departmental Advising

Undergraduate and graduate students in Communicative Disorders and Sciences are strongly encouraged to meet with a departmental academic advisor at least once per semester. These meetings will provide you with an opportunity to plan your courses and discuss your degree progress.

Master of Science (M.S.) Degree Advisement

Graduate students are advised by tenured or tenure-track faculty advisors, assigned to each student on entry into their first semester in the graduate program. Faculty advisors have regular office hours during Fall and Spring semesters of the academic year.

General programmatic questions, feedback, or concerns from undergraduate and graduate students also may be communicated directly to CDS Interim Chair, Dr. Pei-Tzu Tsai, via email, office hour visits, or scheduled meetings.
