Accreditation

The Communicative Disorders Program has been accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association since 1969. Students meet the requirements for clinical certification and state licensure in speech-language pathology by obtaining the M.A. degree, clinical practicurn training, a satisfactory score on a national examination, and completion of clinical fellowship year.

Outstanding Faculty

All of our faculty are specialists in communicative disorders, and many are recognized nationally and internationally for their research and professional service. The faculty's first priority, however, is its students in teaching, providing guidance, and helping with the student's research project.

Resources

The Speech and Hearing Clinic functions as a non profit CSUF Foundation agency, offering speech and hearing services for persons with communicative disorders. In addition to the campus clinic, there is an off-campus clinical program for graduate students that involves experiences in over thirty hospitals, clinics, rehabilitative agencies, schools, and private practices. The primary objectives of our clinics are to provide opportunities for teaching, service, and research. Students gain the needed clinical experience by enrolling in a series of clinical practices, depending upon the professional objective.
