The program in Communication Disorders at The State University of New York at New Paltz is dynamic and student centered. The graduate program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is approved by New York State to license speech-language pathologists and to certify teachers of students with speech and language disabilities. Our faculty strives for excellence in teaching as well as research. Clinical training provided in our on-site Speech Language and Hearing Center is excellent; the Center has a large and varied caseload and students have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Our network of external clinical practicum sites is extensive and offers a wide variety of opportunities, including major hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, preschools, public schools, and private practices.

The SUNY New Paltz campus is a modern and comprehensive educational facility located at the heart of New York State's "golden corridor" extending from Albany to New York City. The area is rich in cultural and recreational attractions.
