*G415 SLP Clinic 1 is in house (1 day/week equivalent) and lasts for two semesters (Fall 1 + Spring 1 OR Spring 1 and Summer 1)

**SLA G107 Clinical Procedures is a prerequisite course that some students take at the undergraduate level before entering the SLP Grad Program.  If not taken as an undergraduate, students have to take it as SLP graduate students.  Clinical Procedure credits do NOT count towards the minimum 52 semester SLP Program graduate credits needed to graduate.

Also, for Undergraduates:
We are very pleased to be able to offer you a new program in Early Intervention that will allow you to practice as Early Intervention Developmental specialists in Massachusetts once you graduate with your bachelors degree. This is an interdisciplinary curriculum with four academic courses and two practica in early intervention sites. It replaces the standard curriculum in the 4th year of the program and requires no extra credits or expense on your part. The program has been approved by the department, the college and the university. This program already exists at the graduate level but is now open to our senior level undergraduates.There is a shortage of Early Intervention personnel so this is a very nice qualification to have. You may, of course, continue to get your masters in Speech-Language Pathology afterwords. If you are thinking of a career in Audiology, this is probably not your best option.
