Hi,

Speech-language pathologists are master’s-educated, state licensed, and often nationally certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Although licensing requirements vary slightly from one state to the next, all licensing boards require SLP professional candidates to complete pre-licensure professional experience requirements and hold a post-bachelor’s degree in speech-language pathology.

speech-language pathologist:


Complete an Undergraduate Program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD)

Complete a CAA-Accredited Graduate Degree in Speech-Language Pathology/Communicative Sciences and Disorders

Complete a Post-Graduate Fellowship

Take a National Exam in Speech-Language

Apply for State Licensure as a Speech-Language Pathologist

Consider Professional Certification

Prerequisite undergraduate courses generally include:


Biological science

Physical science

Statistics

Behavioral and social science (2 courses)

Other admission requirements include:


Minimum 3.0 GPA

GRE scores

Admissions essay

Letters of recommendation


Hope this helps

Wish you luck
