The Katz College's Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, based in New York City, is one of the few SLP programs in the country specializing in the medical aspects of speech-language pathology. Our master's program takes a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating speech, language, swallowing and communication cases across the lifespan. With three options to pursue your studies-full-time on-campus, full-time online or part-time online-you can choose the program that fits your schedule.
While at YU, students participate in four clinical externships, learn how to conduct telehealth sessions and gain clinical experience under the guidance of faculty, supervisors and mentors. Within the coursework, students utilize technology, such as endoscopy, electrical stimulation and ultrasound, to assist with the diagnosis of voice, speech and swallowing disorders. They also obtain the necessary counseling skills to support families facing a challenging diagnosis. In addition, students have the opportunity to attend professional conferences, contribute to scholarly publications and integrate evidence-based practice into clinical practice.
To earn an MS in Speech-Language Pathology degree, students must successfully complete all graduate coursework (55-credits), earn a minimum of 400 clinical hours, and sit for the Praxis. Additionally, the following prerequisite courses must be completed with a C or better:
