Speech and Language Pathology - Teachers College At Columbia University

Speech and Language Pathology from Teachers College At Columbia University is a Campus Master Communication Disorders degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. This degree program leads to professional licensing, professional certification, and if elected, to teacher of speech and hearing handicapped certification. Students are required to complete academic and practice requirements for the New York State License in Speech-Language Pathology and the Certificate of Clinical Competence offered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association to be eligible for graduation with the Master of Science Degree. This requirement means that it is the responsibility of the student to satisfy the required 74 points of coursework in appropriate specified areas for the ASHA CCC-SLP before completion of the M.S., either through coursework taken at Teachers College or through an approved distribution of courses completed at Teachers College and at another regionally accredited institutions (including undergraduate coursework). This requirement is in addition to the specific courses and minimum points required by Teachers College faculty to satisfy the Master of Science degree requirements. Although course points from other institutions are not transferred to the student's program, courses taken elsewhere and approved by the student's academic advisor as equivalent to coursework required to satisfy the ASHA certification requirements or selected departmental requirements do not need to be repeated at Teachers College. The minimum number of points for completion of the Program in Speech-Language Pathology is approximately 50, including practicum courses. Students who have no previous applicable coursework in the field typically require 74 points to complete the requirements for graduation. Students admitted to the program with undergraduate majors in speech and language pathology or with substantial prior coursework can expect to complete the program within two calendar years (four semesters and two summer sessions) of full-time study. Students admitted with little or no prior coursework can expect to complete the program in two and one-half calendar years of full-time study. Some accommodations can be made for part-time study during a portion of the program, but students must be enrolled in practicum experiences (BBSQ 5331/2) from their first semester and in all subsequent semesters of their enrollment.
