Speech-Language Pathology

A master's degree is the standard credential in the profession of speech-language pathology (SLP). In keeping with the Salus emphasis on a sound background in the biomedical sciences, interprofessional education and clinical skills, graduates of this new degree program will receive the necessary education and training to become integral members of today’s healthcare and education teams, and future leaders in their profession.

The opportunity to interact with students and faculty from Salus programs in optometry, audiology, physician assistant, occupational therapy, orthotics & prosthetics, and blindness and low vision education and rehabilitation will afford SLP students a unique and valuable perspective not found in all SLP programs. For those SLP students who are interested in research, a degree program in the biomedical sciences is also offered.

The Post-baccalaureate Program in Speech-Language Pathology is designed to prepare students to excel academically and professionally by providing a rigorous, holistic and comprehensive experience that will establish a foundation necessary for their success in the field of Speech-Language Pathology.

Selected courses in the Post-baccalaureate Program are open to non-degree seeking students wishing to expand their knowledge and skills in speech-language pathology. All courses may be taken on an a la carte basis, except for Introduction to Patient Care I & II and Career Guidance & Academic Success. The maximum credit total allowed as a non-certificate seeking student is 24 credits.
