Become a speech-language pathologist

Northeastern’s BS-MS PlusOne Program offers motivated students the opportunity to start earning a master’s degree while completing their undergraduate coursework. Students apply to the program in the spring of their junior year, and if accepted, take 24 credits of graduate work in their fourth year; these courses count towards both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

Information on the approval process for PlusOne programs can be found on the Registrar’s website, and the Bouvé College website contains details on eligibility for the PlusOne program, as well the many advantages of pursuing a Master’s degree through a PlusOne program at Northeastern University.

Students apply to the program in the spring of their junior year, and if accepted, take 24 credits of graduate work in their fourth year; these courses count towards both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (BS-SLPA) degree at the end of year four, and this shortens the completion time for a master’s degree to only one additional year.
