(pdf, updated October 2016)

The Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology Certificate is designed for students who plan to work with bilingual Spanish-English speakers with communicative disorders, consistent with ASHA’s definition regarding bilingual speech-language pathologists.  To be a candidate for the certificate, a student must be admitted to the MA program in speech-language pathology since the certificate is coordinated with these endeavors.

PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS TO DR. HENRIKE BLUMENFELD – hblumenf@sdsu.edu

Certificate Requirements

The certificate program requires completion of 13 units to include nine units of substantive coursework and four units of graduate clinical practicum with bilingual speakers with communicative disorders. Based on research and clinical expertise of the faculty, as well as the availability of a clinical population, the certificate is currently focused on Spanish-English communicative disorders.

The following core courses are required: Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences 570, 600A, 600B, 606, 607, 608, 609A, 609B, 613, 614, 617, 672, 673, 675, 794. Students must also complete 6 units of 700 level electives and 100 hours of graduate clinical practicum with Spanish speakers.

Candidates seeking admission to the certificate program must pass a Spanish proficiency test and satisfy admission requirements to the school as listed in the SDSU Graduate Bulletin.

Students who speak languages for which clinical training is not available (i.e., languages other than Spanish) are encouraged to complete the specialization in bilingualism within the concentration in speech-language pathology.
