Prepare to Transform Lives Through Speech-Language Pathology

Connecting people, one moment at a time

The Master of Speech-Language Pathology (MSLP) program prepares students for a rewarding career as a speech-language pathologist (SLP). SLPs work with individuals and families across the lifespan (newborn through geriatric) to prevent, diagnose, treat, and research speech, language, and swallowing disorders. Demand for speech-language pathologists is predicted to grow 29% through 2030 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2022), making the employment outlook very strong. Speech-language pathologists work in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, private practices, skilled nursing facilities, and early intervention programs.
