Communication Disorders at Arizona State University at Tempe

There is a growing need for speech language pathologists. Even in difficult economic times, certified SLPs are able to find employment in early intervention programs, schools, hospitals and clinics. You can make a difference in the lives of children and adults with autism, hearing impairment, neurogenic and other communication disorders.
The MS in communication disorders is a full-time residential program that can be completed in 20 months and prepares students to become certified speech language pathologists. The master's degree program trains students to evaluate and treat clients in speech, language, cognitive and communication disorders.

The first year of the program focuses on developing knowledge and skills in assessment and treatment of communication disorders across the lifespan. Hybrid courses use "flipped classrooms" and problem-based learning to develop skills needed in the field. The second year of the program allows students to focus their interests in specialty areas and acquire clinical skills in external clinical placements. The program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

This program provides a wide range of research and clinical opportunities. Clinical settings include inpatient and outpatient medical sites, public schools, early intervention programs and private practices. A part-time employment program is available for speech language pathology assistants who are working in a public school setting.
