Overview

Outstanding Clinical Experience

The Department of Communication Disorders is home to a newly-renovated Speech-Language and Hearing Center, which provides diagnostic and therapeutic services to Hudson Valley residents, young and old. Communication Disorders - Speech and Language Disabilities Concentration students from State University of New York at New Paltz gain valuable, comprehensive experience working with clients in the Center and at varied regional affiliate organizations such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitations centers, agencies, and private practices.

Personal Attention and Relationships

As part of a small, tight-knit cohort of enrolled students, you’ll develop skills and build relationships alongside peers who share your interests. Our knowledgeable and experienced faculty work closely with each individual student to provide an exceptional synthesis of research-based academic foundations and applied clinical experience.

Graduate programs in Communication Disorders include two concentrations: Speech-Language Pathology, and Speech and Language Disabilities. Completion of either program qualifies students for ASHA certification and New York State licensure. The Disabilities concentration qualifies students for the Initial Certification as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD).

Abundant Career Opportunities

Graduates of MS in Communication Disorders programs find employment in the field at a rate of nearly 100%, and the professional outlook nationwide is forecast to remain strong for years to come.
