Cert in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

This post-baccalaureate certificate in speech-language pathology is run by the Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences department at Lehman College. It covers the prerequisite coursework that people with a degree in an unrelated discipline need before applying to graduate training in speech-language pathology. The curriculum is made up of seven or eight courses, which together come to somewhere between 21 and 24 credits. Classes can be taken on campus or through online delivery, giving working adults and career changers some flexibility in how they complete the sequence. The certificate is a stepping stone rather than a clinical license. Graduates use the completed prerequisites to support applications to master's programs in the field.
