Notice

The U.S. Department of Education requires that all higher education institutions advise students as to whether their curriculum provides them with the eligibility to apply for a professional license and/or certification in the state for which they plan to practice. As such, please review UNC Greensboro’s status by state (PDF) for our Master program in Speech-Language Pathology. You should note whether the program either “meets” or “does not meet”, the program’s status in the state for which you plan to practice.   The University of North Carolina Greensboro believes this information to be accurate, but final eligibility decisions rest with individual licensure authorities.
