CMDS Undergraduate Research

Each year, several Truman CMDS majors participate in individual or group projects that are presented at the annual Truman Student Research Conference or other professional venues such as the convention of the Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

There are 3 primary ways that communication disorders majors pursue these opportunities:

• Top Secret Research Group
  This volunteer student research group explores the use of new technologies in communication disorders with Dr. Cochran.
• McNair Scholars program
  Qualified students apply for this multi-year opportunity to work closely with a faculty member and prepare for future graduate study.
• Truman Undergraduate Research Stipends
  In collaboration with a faculty member, students submit competitive proposals for financial support for their research projects.
