About COMSC

The Communication Sciences Program (COMSC) Program, its offices, clinic and classes, are housed at Hunter College's East 25th Street campus known as the Brookdale Health Sciences Campus.

Prospective students may choose from one of two full-time curricula leading to a Master of Science (MS) degree in Communication Sciences. The Health Sciences curriculum (HS) in Speech-Language Pathology is 60 credits and prepares students for professional practice in hospitals, healthcare agencies, general and specialized clinical settings, and private practices. Students wishing to eventually work in a New York State school setting must enroll in the Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD) curriculum, which requires an additional six credits to the HS curriculum.

The Health Sciences (60 credits) and TSSLD (66 credits) tracks are designed as full-time curricula to be completed in two years. It is possible to complete either degree on a part-time basis over a course of three to four years. Degrees must be completed within five years after commencing classes.
Both curricula, whether part-time or full-time, require daytime and evening class and/or clinic attendance.
There are no weekend classes or externships at this time.

Successful completion of either curriculum permits students to meet the academic and clinical requirements to apply for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Professional Certification and New York State Licensure. The COMSC Program is accredited by ASHA's Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.
