Why Study Speech-Language Pathology at La 91直播?
The Pre-Speech-Language Pathology (PreSLP) program provides post-baccalaureate students with the opportunity to take pre-requisite courses in basic human communication sciences. These courses are often needed to apply to Master鈥檚 degree programs in speech-language pathology. This unique program offers eight undergraduate Communication Sciences and Disorders courses that are commonly required by Master鈥檚 degree programs. We offer our PreSLP courses both online and on campus, affording students the choice of a flexible schedule.
The PreSLP program consists of courses required for admission to 91直播鈥檚 . These courses reflect 91直播鈥檚 interpretation of the current Council for Clinical Certification in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CFCC) requirements. However, they are not necessarily the requirements for all graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology. Individual graduate programs have leeway in how they interpret CFCC guidelines. Students should consult with a representative of the graduate program(s) they are considering for specific information about program admission requirements.
Program Description
The PreSLP program provides post-baccalaureate students who do not have the necessary background in communication sciences and disorders with the prerequisite courses in basic human communication sciences needed to apply to a master鈥檚 degree program in speech-language pathology.
This unique program offers eight undergraduate-level courses commonly recommended or required for graduate school preparation in speech-language pathology. They are offered online, affording students the choice of a flexible schedule.
Students are strongly encouraged to take all PreSLP courses unless their records indicate that they have taken equivalent courses and earned a B or higher in those courses. By completing the PreSLP program, students are better prepared to apply to a graduate program in speech-language pathology. However, entrance into the PreSLP program does not guarantee acceptance into La 91直播鈥檚 graduate Speech-Language Pathology Program.
