Overview
This Speech-Language Pathology program at Rutgers University, which will be completed over five consecutive semesters, emphasizes service delivery for multiethnic, socially diverse populations – including dialectal speakers of English and bilingual/multilingual individuals – with speech, language, communication, and swallowing disorders within an interdisciplinary healthcare context.
Eligible students will have the option of completing the Bilingual Competency Recognition (BCR).
