Communication Sciences & Disorders Department
The communication sciences and disorders program at SUNY Plattsburgh provides an academic and clinical professional education for students whose primary goal is to serve children and adults who have impairments of communication and swallowing.
Our program has a proud history of preparing qualified speech-language pathologists and audiologists in the field of communication sciences and disorders.
In order to succeed in these professions students must possess a sincere interest in helping people; personal integrity, self confidence, dependability and a history of academic success; good oral and written communication skills; and good listening skills. Graduate work is necessary for licensure and ASHA certification and is the entry level degree for both professions.
