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 and Department of Safety and Professional Services’ (DSPS) licensure, please contact Ms. Belter at belterem@uwm.edu.
