Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology at Northeastern University
Northeastern University on behalf of its Bouve College of Health Sciences and Stonehill College have arranged for the preferred admission of up to eight Stonehill College students who satisfy certain requirements into the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology Program in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders (CSD) at Northeastern University. The agreement prepares future speech-language pathologists for the rigors of clinical practice in educational and health care settings through a comprehensive program of study that emphasizes teamwork and interdisciplinary approaches to complex service delivery issues.
Benefits
- Expedited review for admission with decisions typically released prior to the standard decision date
- Accepted students under the terms and conditions of this agreement are eligible for tuition scholarships of at least $10,000
