Becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist
In order to practice as a speech-language pathologist, a master's degree is required.
Students who complete our undergraduate program are prepared to apply directly to a master’s program, such as the one offered at Buffalo State. Our undergraduate curriculum has been structured so that, upon completion of the master’s degree, students will be positioned to apply for a teaching certificate in New York State as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disorders (TSSLD) and will also be prepared to apply for a state license to practice speech-language pathology and the nationally-recognized Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) awarded by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
Our Master's Degree Program
The Master of Science in Education (M.S. Ed.) education program in speech-language pathology at SUNY Buffalo State is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
