Professional Certification

Upon completion of the MS Communication Sciences and Disorders Program you will have completed all educational requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence awarded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). For more information, please visit the ASHA certification website.

Our graduate program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has approved our program, so you’ll be eligible for a Wisconsin DPI license after you complete the course and practicum requirements.

For questions about DPI licensure, please contact Ms. Hennes at dmhennes@uwm.edu. For questions related to Department of Safety and Professional Services’ (DSPS) licensure, please contact Ms. Belter at belterem@uwm.edu.
