Practicum Requirements in the Speech-Language Pathology Program

Observation: Each student is expected to complete at least 25 hours of observation prior to beginning clinical practicum. Undergraduate hours of observation fulfill this requirement with appropriate documentation and verification.

Practicum: Molloy University requires that the first 25 hours of clinical practicum be completed under the supervision of the faculty of the program. If a student has not had clinical practicum as an undergraduate, they are required to complete their first 50 hours of clinical practicum under the supervision of the faculty of the program. Prior to, or simultaneous with, engagement in clinical practicum, ALL students are required to take a course in diagnostics.

Graduate students must enroll in at least two off-campus practicums. Each off-campus practicum requires completion of a minimum of 125-150 clock hours and will be a minimum of 12 weeks. Clinical practicum must be done at approved sites.
