The following degree programs will lead to a Master of Science.

Electrical Engineering
Computer Science
Nursing
Communication Disorders

• Audiology*
• Speech-Language Pathology
• Speech & Language Disabilities

Communication Disorders
The Department of Communication Disorders offers three concentrations leading to the Master of Science. Speech-Language Pathology and Speech and Language Disabilities lead to New York State licensure and ASHA certification in speech-language pathology. The “Speech and Language Disabilities” concentration allows the student to earn New York State teacher certification as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities. This program has two tracks, one for students entering at the graduate level, and one for students who have completed the “linked” undergraduate certification track major at SUNY New Paltz.

* The Audiology concentration is currently on hold. We will not be accepting any new applications to this program.

Computer Science
The computer science program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation for advanced professional work or doctoral study in the computer field. Courses are offered in computer software, hardware, theory, and mathematics. This graduate-level program requires 30 credit hours selected from three course categories, allowing for both breadth and depth of study. To accommodate part-time students, most graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening and meet once a week. Teaching assistantships are available on a competitive basis. The program does not require a baccalaureate degree in computer science.

Electrical Engineering
The Electrical Engineering program offers courses in electromagnetic fields and waves, telecommunications, electronics, and control systems. The program has two options: thesis and non-thesis. The thesis option emphasizes research and requires submission of a thesis in addition to taking advanced core and elective courses in electrical engineering. This option requires the completion of 30 credits, 24 course credits and 6 thesis credits. The non-thesis option requires completion of 30 course credits and successful passing of a comprehensive examination. The program, which can be pursued either full- or part-time, is designed to serve recent graduates and practicing engineers who need in-depth knowledge in the rapidly changing and expanding areas of electrical engineering beyond what can be included in the traditional bachelor's program.

Nursing
The master's program is intended to advance the nurse's knowledge base in the specialty areas of Gerontological Nursing and Family Care Nursing and to develop a competent clinician within a selected practice role. The program also provides a basis for post-master’s and/or doctoral study in nursing. Both full- and part-time students will be served by this 42-credit graduate curriculum.
