Yeshiva University will introduce a new Master of Science degree program in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) in Fall 2015. Students who enroll will study with experienced clinicians and faculty from the Montefiore Health System and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with access to resources at both institutions.

The five-semester graduate program is designed to prepare students to become speech-language pathologists capable of working in hospitals, rehabilitative centers, university or college clinics, specialized clinical settings or private practice.

Students will have clinical education opportunities to study disorders that affect speech, language, cognition, voice, and swallow function. The graduate program establishes a strong base for normal and abnormal speech/language development, voice, and swallow function in the first year of study, then expands to upper level communication/cognitive function in the second year. Students will also have the opportunity to specialize through didactics and a final capstone project.

The program is approved by the State of New York Department of Higher Education and is seeking Accreditation Candidacy with the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of ASHA. To learn more or to apply, visit http://yu.edu/academics/graduate-arts-sciences/speech-language-pathology/
