Speech-Language & Hearing Clinic

Clinical Research

The Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences program encourages faculty-mentored and independent research, which contributes to the creation of new knowledge, sharpens critical and analytical thinking skills, and prepares students for graduate study and/or professional positions. Students often present their research at the MSUM Student Academic Conference, while some student researchers present at regional, national or international meetings and conferences, such as the Minnesota Speech-Language-Hearing Association (MSHA) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
