The Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences PhD program (SLHS PhD) at University of Montana provides the opportunity for students to closely study with faculty in the School of Speech, Language, Hearing &Occupational Sciences. Students who have a master's degree and choose to pursue this additional research-focused PhD, work closely with a primary faculty mentor of a chosen speech, language, and/or hearing specialization to develop related content and research skills. Content specialization experiences and seminars are balanced with opportunities to complete coursework across a wide variety of related content disciplines(e.g., neuroscience, psychology, education) through individualized plans of study. Thus, students benefit from expertise and mentorship in both a traditional apprenticeship PhD model, with a faculty mentor in a chosen expertise, and an interprofessional model, in which students complete coursework and engage in learning with a chosen interprofessional team.<br><br>The program is made up of a combination of 54 credits of coursework and professional products, the preliminary comprehensive competency exam, and a dissertation. Students must pass a preliminary comprehensive competency exam that includes disciplinary knowledge, a critique of a research manuscript, and design of an experimental research study. In addition, students complete professional products in areas critical for the success of faculty or professionals in the speech, language, and hearing sciences that include the following: (1) research, (2) conference presentation, (3) writing for publication, (4) systematic review of research literature, (5) grant writing, (6) college teaching, and/or (7) supervision. Following the successful completion of coursework, the preliminary comprehensive competency exam, and professional products, students complete a directed research dissertation experience that contributes to the advancement of the field of speech, language,and hearing sciences. Full-time students entering with their completed masters degree in an area related to speech, language, and hearing sciences can complete the PhD in 3 -4 years.
