Part-Time Plan of Study

The Speech@NYU program can be completed in eight to ten terms when you study part time. Your total length of study will depend on the number of foundation courses you must take before starting graduate-level courses. If you are admitted to the program, Speech@NYU faculty will review your transcripts and undergraduate course work to determine how many foundation courses you need to complete.

Each foundation course is available online through the program.

  • Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech and Swallow Mechanism
  • Neurological Bases of Cognition, Behavior, and Communication
  • Phonetics
  • Science of Language
  • Speech Development and Disorders
  • Language Development and Disorders in Children
  • Introduction to Audiology and Aural Rehabilitation

Below is a sample course schedules for the part-time Speech@NYU program when no foundation courses are required. In addition to the courses below, you will also take the Master of Science Student Seminar each term you are enrolled. Please note that once you enter the field, students are expected to commit to a 35+ hour work week at their placement.

If you are admitted to the program, Speech@NYU faculty will review your transcripts and undergraduate course work to determine if you are eligible for this plan of study. The course sequence is subject to change upon enrollment.
