Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology

In just five semesters, you will be equipped to meet the certification requirements established by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Though speech-language pathologists must be licensed in the state they reside, our program provides licensure opportunities in all 50 states.

Our residential program provides an intentional cohort model to promote collaborative peer support, immersive learning experiences and one-to-one mentorship with our seasoned faculty at our on-campus clinic, the Duncum Center. Within 52-hours, you will complete courses in motor speech disorders, dysphasia, speech sound disorders, diagnostic and therapeutic theory and more. Students are encouraged to divide their clinical practicum experiences between local, national and international opportunities to expand their Christian worldview.

All students must apply through the CSDCAS portal.
