College hosts forum on new master’s degree program

More than 50 Thiel College employees, community members and representatives of state legislators attended a public session Monday in Stamm Lecture Hall of the James Pedas Communication Center on the addition of a speech pathology graduate program.

Two representatives for the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology were on campus on Monday and Tuesday as part of a site visit as the College pursues its first graduate degree program.

Emeritus Professor of Special Education and Communication Disorders at the University of Nebraska John Bernthal, Ph.D., and Clinical Professor in the Department of Hearing and Speech, Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders at the University of Kansas Debora B. Daniels, Ph.D., toured campus, met with the campus and community members and staff and faculty of Academic Affairs and the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. The pair will then write a report about their findings at Thiel.

The primary purpose of Monday’s meeting was for Bernthal and Daniels to gauge public opinion on the proposed master’s program. The pair spent a majority of the hour asking questions of the audience.
