Why Speech-Language Pathology?

Speech-language pathology (SLP) is an exciting and rewarding discipline that blends the multifaceted worlds of health sciences, speech and hearing sciences, communication, and communication disorders. A career in SLP offers opportunities to work with diverse populations ranging in age from birth to geriatrics. Degrees in speech-language pathology range from the undergraduate degree to the entry-level master's degree and advanced clinical and academic degrees at the doctoral level.
