Overview:
The Bachelor's of Science degree program at New York University provides a firm foundation in communicative disorders across the life span as preparation for specialized graduate study in speech-language pathology. The American Speech-Language -Hearing Association has designated the master's degree as the entry level degree for certification as a speech-language pathologist. The program provides an extensive knowledge base in anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanism; normal speech, language, and hearing development; and disorders that can affect the ability to communicate, such as neurogenic communication disorders in adults, child language disorders, and articulation disorders. Additional coursework from related fields such as American Sign Language, psychology, linguistics, and statistics is integrated into the program, and a generous number of liberal arts and elective courses allow students to explore areas of interest of their own choosing. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to pair their theoretical knowledge with practical application while observing ongoing therapy in our on-campus, state-of-the-art speech language pathology and audiology clinic.
