Masters Students in Speech-Language Pathology

Students who are finishing their Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology (both at Syracuse University and at other institutions) may apply for the PhD in SLP program. Students with a Masters in SLP who wish to complete their Clinical Fellowship during their time as a PhD student can be granted the opportunity to do so either through the Gebbie Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic or through connections with local agencies. However, this will extend the duration of the PhD program.
