and Speech Sciences, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Applications are invited for Fall 2007 for the Applied Language and
Speech Sciences (ALSS) doctoral degree program in the Department of
Communicative Disorders at the University of Louisiana at
Lafayette. Qualified applicants may also apply for the Board of
Regents Fellowship, which runs for four years and pays $20,000 per
annum (plus $4000 if students are registered over the summer).
Applicants should have a prior degree in communication disorders or a
related discipline, and an interest in pursuing research into some
aspect of disordered communication. The research interests of faculty
are given on the department website:
http://speechandlanguage.louisiana.edu/ , and applicants are expected
to nominate a preferred mentor at the time of application. Ongoing
research in the department includes clinical aphasiology, clinical
phonetics and phonology, language and dementia, language and literacy,
stuttering, voice, motor speech disorders, augmentative and
alternative communication, and autism.
Applicants should also study the Graduate School website for
information on the application process
(http://gradschool.louisiana.edu/ ). The ALSS coordinator is Dr John
Tetnowski who should be contacted for details of departmental
requirements when applying for the ALSS program.
The Board of Regents Fellowship is open to US citizens and permanent
residents only. Normally, applicants are expected to have GRE scores
falling in the range above 600 on each of the normed areas with a
preference given to those candidates with the highest scores. Also,
applicants holding the Bachelors degree should present an overall GPA
of 3.5 or higher (on a four point scale); while those with a Master's
degree must have completed graduate coursework with a cumulative GPA
of at least 3.9. Further, candidates for a Regents Fellowship in the
ALSS Ph.D. program must also submit a writing sample in the form of a
