 Return to: In-person/Hybrid
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Communication Sciences and Disorders is designed for those who are interested in becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist but have not completed an undergraduate degree in this field. This program bridges the gap between a student’s undergraduate preparation and the criteria needed to be accepted into Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) accredited graduate programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders by providing them with the foundational undergraduate coursework. The program can be completed in two, full-time, consecutive terms. No courses are offered during the summer.
