The Department of Hearing and Speech Science is offering a new program (expected to launch in spring 2022) designed to provide licensed speech-language pathologists with the knowledge and skills needed to serve clients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The 12-credit curriculum emphasizes the clinical application and training in bilingual service delivery. The program can be completed in as little as 12-months of continuous study while minimally disrupting personal and professional life. For more information about the program and to find out how to apply, visit this website. For more information, please contact kmm29 [at] umd.edu (Karen Miranda).

Please note: This program is intended for individuals who have completed, or who are close to completing, a graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology.
