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 manuscript suitable for publication, or a paper that has been presented at a conference, or, preferably, that has appeared in a refereed journal.
