The Doctor of Science degree (DSc or ScD) is recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education as a research doctorate equivalent to the Ph.D. Sometimes, in the U.S., the Doctor of Science is awarded as an honorary degree. Outside the U.S. it is an earned doctorate (as me again states above).
M.S. is an abbreviation for master of sciences. Both graduate degrees have been used for students of Communication Disorders depending on the university attended and the year. C.C.C. is an abbreviation for Certificate of Clinical Competence.
