Bilingual Extension Institute | Biobehavioral Sciences

Over the last two decades, more than 600 bilingual speech-language pathologists have successfully completed the Teachers College Bilingual Extension Institute, directed by Professor Catherine Crowley. Taught by an eight-person faculty and seven master clinicians, the Institute’s Advanced Certificate in Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology is designed to provide students with the knowledge and clinical skills needed to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services for children and adolescents.

• Requirements: Discipline-specific and open only to bilingual speech and language providers. 
• Academic Credit: Offered as a credit-bearing, non-degree program. Students receive six graduate-level credits from Teachers College, Columbia University through two courses focused on assessment and treatment for pre-school and school-age children.
• Certificate: Both the online and in-person Bilingual Extension Institute offer NYSED Bilingual Extension certificate to the NYSED Teacher of Speech and Language Disabilities (TSLD) certificate and an advanced certificate in bilingual speech-language pathology. 

Both the in-person and online Institutes are now accepting applications for May 2019.
