B.S.E., Elementary and Special Education / M.S., Speech-Language Pathology

The 4+2 dual degree (B.S.E. + M.S.S.L.P.) Education/Speech-Language Pathology program offers students an opportunity to gain automatic acceptance into Seton Hall’s two-year master's program in speech-language pathology.

This rigorous dual-degree program provides one-on-one advisement beginning in the first semester of freshman year, ensuring students remain focused on program requirements and graduating within the four-year time frame prior to the master's 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 includes:

  • A full major in arts and sciences
  • Five field placements in diverse education settings
  • 18 credits in speech-language pathology prerequisite courses

The master's degree program offers a comprehensive, lock-step curriculum consisting of five semesters of academic coursework and clinical experiences in a variety of school and health care settings.  Upon completion of the program, graduates are well-prepared for a range of entry-level speech-language pathology jobs in schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and more.

The program is aligned with national InTASC standards and national accreditation standards by CAEP .
