That's why I would love to further my education after my master's.

I thought the same thing, but most of the professors here just have a Masters. They have a lot of previous experience being supervisors at different clinics, etc, so maybe that makes up for them not having PhD's? lol, I'm not sure.

Maybe it's different in different states haha

That's why I would love to further my education after my master's. Actually we have a number of options if we want to teach at the university level. All of the "four core" SLP classes at my school are taught by PhD faculty as far as I know, however we have professors with other types of master's, doctorates and also PhDs in other areas, such as linguistics. I've had a professor with a Master's degree that taught AAC and another with a Master's that taught Fluency. I had another professor with the CsCD title - Doctor of Clinical Science. (He taught a core class, actually.) I myself am interested in pursuing a DEd (doctorate of education) - I was originally interested in PhD but when I stepped back and looked at my goals (and realized I didn't want a career in research) I came to the conclusion that PhD wasn't the choice for me and my family. At any rate - lots of options out there - yet another reason to love our field! Edited December 1, 2015 by Jolie717
