East Stroudsburg University’s graduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders is seeking re-accreditation by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA). The program is undergoing a candidacy site visit.  As part of the typical accreditation process for M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology (CSD) programs, the CAA is seeking comments in advance of its scheduled March 22 and 23 site visit to ESU.
