The School of Speech-Language Pathology offers undergraduate and graduate degrees that prepare professionals to address communication and swallowing disorders and differences that disrupt learning, health, and quality of life for people across the lifespan. As stipulated by our accreditation status, the degrees are offered in face-to-face format. The bachelor's degree offers elective opportunities for early clinical experiences in preparation for master's degree programs in speech-language pathology (offered at Old Dominion University) or clinical doctoral programs in audiology (offered at other universities) where students become licensed and certified for clinical practice. The MS Speech-Language Pathology program prepares professionals for national certification and state licensure as a speech-language pathologist.
