Speech language pathology teaches students how to evaluate speech and language disorders and to provide needed therapeutic services to people of all ages. They work individually or as a team to make a difference in the lives of people with speech and/or language disorders. The program provides course work in communication disorders which prepares the student for graduate work in speech-language pathology. The strengths of the program include supervised clinical experiences on the undergraduate level, undergraduate foundations in normal speech processes and language development and introductory courses in communication disorders. A master’s degree is one of the requirements for licensure and certification as a speech-language pathologist. The Essential Functions provide information to allow a candidate to make an informed decision for application and are a guide to accommodation of students with disabilities. Academic adjustments can be made for disabilities in some instances, but a student must be able to perform the essential functions of a speech language pathologist independently either with or without reasonable accommodation. Many physical, behavioral and social, and cognitive and intellectual abilities are necessary for satisfactory mastery of the academic and clinical curriculum and professional responsibilities in the field of speech-language pathology. Essential physical abilities include, but are not limited to, the ability to visually monitor patient responses and materials and to make judgments about speech and acoustic signals. Examples of behavioral and social attributes include maintaining emotional and mental health necessary to use one’s intellectual abilities, to promptly complete responsibilities, and to develop appropriate relationships with faculty, supervisors, staff, peers, clients, parents or caregivers, and other professionals. Essential cognitive and intellectual abilities include, among others, demonstrating the mental capacity to learn and assimilate professional information, including the ability to comprehend oral and written professional literature and reports; ability to write discipline-specific papers and clinical reports in Standard American English; ability to speak Standard American English intelligibly and to discriminate correct production of and model Standard American English phonemes, vocabulary, grammatical forms, and prosodic patterns. We urge applicants to ask questions about the program's technical standards for clarification and to determine whether they can meet the requirements with or without reasonable accommodations. Such questions may be directed to the Program Director or the Academic Enrichment Center on campus.
