On March 20th, the APSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the new master\u2019s degree program.<\/p>\n

The program still needs to be approved by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), Austin Peay State University\u2019s main accrediting body.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the word is getting out, the students are populating our program,\u201d Dr. Kelly Kleinhans, Austin Peay State University clinical associate professor, said about the undergraduate program last fall. \u201cOur students are phenomenal. They have big personalities and are eager to learn and they see the world in such unique ways. They\u2019re going to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of her undergraduate students will likely continue their studies at Austin Peay State University, once the Master of Speech-Language Pathology degree is fully approved.<\/p>\n

According to materials provided by Kleinhans, the program will \u201chelp individuals with communication disorders in the state of Tennessee\u201d by preparing \u201cgraduates to help people acquire or restore the basic human right of communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the March 20th meeting, the board also approved the naming of the Stone, Rudolph, and Henry Govs Gallery, located on the second floor lobby of the Kimbrough Building.
