Doctor of Philosophy 
Programs
Adviser: Helen S. Cairns
The City University of New York offers a
program for the degree of Doctor of Philos-
ophy in Speech and Hearing Sciences. See 
the Bulletin of the CUNY Graduate School
for a description of the doctoral program.
Students may take courses where they are
offered, at the senior colleges or at the
Graduate School and University Center, 33
West 42 Street, New York, NY 10036.
Master’s Degree in 
Speech-Language Pathology
Program Director: Joel Stark
Coordinator of Graduate Studies: Robert
Rosenbaum
The program in Communication Sciences
prepares students to become speech-lan-
guage pathologists. It includes course work
in speech, language, and hearing science as
well as in professional areas. Candidates
with incomplete undergraduate prepara-
tion will be required to make up deficien-
cies before enrolling in graduate courses.*
Candidates will meet the academic and
supervised clinical practicum requirements
of the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASLHA) for certification as
speech-language pathologists. Candidates
may also be eligible for the New York State
Certificate for Teaching the Speech and
Hearing Handicapped and the New York
State Department of Education Certifica-
tion in audiology or speech-language
pathology.
The Queens College Speech, Language,
and Hearing Center, in its own specially
designed building, serves as the depart-
mental clinical laboratory. Students spend
their first year of clinical practicum at the
Center, where they are intensively super-
vised. Advanced students are assigned to
clinical practica at selected hospitals and
special schools for extended externship
experience. An Augmentative Communica-
tion Center trains students to use modern
technology in the treatment of disorders.
Requirements for Matriculation 
These requirements are in addition to the
general requirements for admission.
1. A grade-point average of B or better.
2. At least 15 credits in courses appro-
priate to the study of communication.
Courses are selected to satisfy ASLHA cer-
tification standards (see adviser).
3. A 3-credit course in Bio./Phys. Sci., 3
credits in Math, 6 credits in Behavioral
and/or Social Sciences to satisfy ASLHA
certification standards (see adviser).
4. At least three letters of recommenda-
tion from undergraduate instructors, nor-
mally two from instructors in communica-
tion sciences and one from an instructor in
another area. Applicants who have been
employed full time following receipt of
their undergraduate degree may wish to
submit letters from employment supervi-
sors. An interview may be required.
5. Results of the Graduate Record
Examination.
6. Applicants who present international
credentials or whose native language was
not English must receive a minimum score
of 650 on the TOEFL.
7. A personal essay.
8. The credentials of each applicant will
be examined by the departmental Graduate
Studies Committee, which will accept, ac-
cept with conditions, or reject candidates.
9. The number of applicants approved
for matriculation is limited by the training
facilities available; therefore, applicants
who otherwise meet minimum require-
ments for matriculation may not necessari-
ly be admitted.
Requirements for the Communica-
tion Sciences Programs 
These requirements are in addition to the
general College requirements for the Mas-
ter of Arts degree.
1. Candidates in Speech-Language
Pathology must complete between 48 and
54 credits and be enrolled as full-time stu-
dents for four semesters (exclusive of the
Summer).
2. In addition to course work, candi-
dates must plan to schedule at least 12-14
hours a week at the Speech and Hearing
Center for supervised clinical practice dur-
ing the first year. (During the second year,
students are assigned to off-campus
externships.) 
3. Candidates must maintain a B or
better grade-point average. In addition,
full-time candidates must satisfactorily
complete four semesters of clinical prac-
tice. The practicum courses, CAS 729 and
749, are graded on a Pass/Fail basis.
