Please note:  All courses listed are available online through the distance learning program, with the exception of the sign language courses; distance learning students must secure these courses in their residential area. Courses taken at junior colleges are acceptable, but the semester credit hours (SCH) will not count towards a graduate degree. If a person enters the program with “sign language competence,” then the program selected will be adjusted. Only 6 SCH is noted above; this is considered minimum—more sign language instruction, including “signed English,” is strongly encouraged.

* These sequences represent full-time status and may be adjusted accordingly for those graduate students who are working/teaching full time. All courses are taught within a fixed sequence;  if a student chooses not to take a course listed in one semester, it should be understood that course will have to be taken the following year in the same semester.

Sequence A:  outline for on-campus students who received B.S. in COMS from TWU.

Sequence B:  outline for distance-learning students who hold a B.S. in COMS or SLP from another university.

Sequence C:  outline for distance-learning students who are considered “out-of-field” and currently certified teachers.

Out-of-Field, Not Certified:  Students who have not had the leveling courses and are not certified teachers would take courses outlined in Sequence C plus the Education courses (EDUC 5113, 5123, 5131, 5133, 5142) or their equivalent.
