Your future as a speech-language pathologist
Thinking about a future in speech-language pathology? With Augustana's Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (MS-SLP) program, you’ll get real experience from day one.
Our grad students complete four clinical practicums in our on-campus speech, language and hearing center, working with clients from our diverse Quad Cities community.
In addition to language and voice disorders, MS-SLP courses cover topics such as counseling, neuro/cognitive issues, the aging brain, multiculturalism and ethical issues in clinic methods.
Program highlights
- Practice and learn in Augustana's on-campus clinic, the Barbara A. Roseman Center for Speech, Language, and Hearing, one of the oldest college-based speech and language clinics in the country. The Roseman Center features:
- a sensory room for children on the autism spectrum
- ultrasound technology for speech
- observation rooms
- full-service audiology facilities
- conference rooms
- research laboratories
- a large resource and materials library
- Develop skills through service learning. Projects have included hearing screenings for refugees, literacy tutoring and working with at-risk expectant mothers.
- Complete four clinical practicums for the clinic's large and linguistically diverse Quad-Cities community (pop. 470,000).
- Gain more experience with 84 graduate credits, half in clinic-based courses. Within Augustana's liberal arts setting that highlights ethics and service, graduate students become better prepared for their future work.
