Program Information
Viterbo’s Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (MSSLP) program prepares students with the academic and practical experience needed to work as a certified speech-language pathologist. Our year-round, full-time 58-credit-hour master's takes students two years (five semesters) to complete. The program blends face-to-face coursework and clinical experiences in area health care facilities and schools.
The MSLP program covers a range of topics related to communication disorders and their treatment, including speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders. The program provides a solid understanding of Deaf culture and the needs of diverse communities. Students also, under the supervision of an ASHA certified Speech Language Pathologist, obtain clinical experience assessing and treating communication disorders while also developing a professional network within the field.
Overall, the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology provides the necessary knowledge and experience to make a profound impact on the lives of individuals with a communication disorder.
