The 4+2 program (B.S.E. + M.S.) joins the undergraduate elementary and special education program with the graduate speech-language pathology program.
Students complete an undergraduate degree leading to a B.S.E. and NJ state certification as an elementary and a special education teacher. The undergraduate program consists of coursework in professional education; a full major in arts and sciences; five field placements in diverse education settings; and 18 credits in speech-language pathology prerequisite courses.
If students maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 each semester and good standing in the program, they are granted automatic admission into the two-year master’s program in speech-language pathology.
The master’s degree program offers a comprehensive, lock-step curriculum consisting of five semesters of academic coursework and clinical practica in a variety of settings. Upon completion of the program, students will have gained the knowledge and skills necessary to perform as an entry level practitioner.
