Anticipated time of completion of the program is four years for students with a master\u2019s degree in speech and hearing sciences (*five or more years for students who have a master\u2019s degree in an area other than speech and hearing sciences or for students who do not have a master\u2019s degree). Students with a degree in speech and hearing sciences typically complete coursework within the first four academic year semesters. In addition, students complete a predissertation project by the spring of their second year. Doctoral written and oral exams are usually taken during the summer of the second year or fall of the third year. Once the exams are completed, the student begins the dissertation process. The length of an individual\u2019s program depends on his\/her specific background, needs, abilities, life events, and interests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/sphs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/600\/2018\/05\/UNC-DSHS-Technical-Standards.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technical standards<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>All admitted PhD students will be required to read, sign and state whether the Nonacademic Technical Standards can be met with or without accommodation.
