Students can gain specialized knowledge and skills for working with young children who are deaf or hard of hearing through the Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) emphasis and Sound Beginnings center. Students also engage in diverse educational, medical, and early intervention externships across Utah and beyond. The primary location is the Speech and Language Clinic, in the Sorenson Legacy Foundation Center for Clinical Excellence, a state of the art interprofessional center providing comprehensive services across the lifespan. The program offers many settings for students to gain clinical skills. The MA degree requires a final comprehensive exam prior to completion and the MS degree requires completion of a thesis. The primary program objective is to prepare students to become speech-language pathologists competent to work with individuals of all ages who have developmental or neurological disorders relating to articulation, fluency, voice and resonance, language development, swallowing, augmentative modalities, and cognitive or social aspects of communication.
Students graduate eligible for certification (pending completion of a clinical fellowship year) and Utah licensure. Additional credits are required for the Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) emphasis. The program involves a minimum of 57-58 total credit hours: 32-33 credits of academic coursework and 25 credits of clinical coursework. The two-year program occurs across six semesters of full-time study beginning with a summer semester. This master's degree is part of the Western Regional Graduate Exchange program ( WRGP). Utah State University’s speech-language pathology program provides a Master’s of Arts (MA) or Master’s of Science (MS) in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education with a specialization in Speech-Language Pathology.
