Bachelor of Arts in Communication Disorders

Undergraduate study in communication disorders has been offered at New Paltz since 1969. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree program is a liberal arts and sciences major that prepares students for graduate study and careers in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related areas such as deaf education. General Education courses in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies are available, as are an interdisciplinary major and minor in Deaf Studies. The department also offers ASHA-accredited graduate programs in Communication Disorders, with concentrations in Speech and Language Disabilities (with teaching certificate) and Speech-Language Pathology.

The basic requirement for admission is a high school degree and a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade-point average (GPA) of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale (or an 85% grade average or higher). An official transcript (documentation of a student's permanent academic record including the courses that have been completed and the marks that have been received for those courses). If your school or national education department does not provide transcripts, please provide a certified record of the courses and examinations taken, this would include Government Examination certificates (such as GCSE-"O" Level, IGCSE, and “A" Level). You must submit official secondary/high school transcripts - in the original language and in a translated English version.
