McDaniel's developing Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program is designed to be completed in six consecutive semesters or two years — four semesters of didactic coursework followed by two semesters of full-time externship.
The first summer of the program is a hybrid semester, where students come to campus in late May for orientation but will learn online throughout the summer. Students will return in mid-August to finish the first summer semester.
Fall semester begins in late August and students will be required to be on campus to participate in class in the fall, spring, and summer terms.
In the final two semesters (fall and spring of the second year), students will be placed in their final, full-time externship placements and will be required to return to campus only one time each semester for three to five days.
