Other Information
Students typically complete the program in four semesters by taking two online courses each term.
Courses must be taken in the order in which they are offered.
Students need to complete 25 observation hours with an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist prior to enrolling in the clinical practicum courses (CSD 3250/3260).
Students will need to maintain a GPA of 2.0+ and complete a minimum of 100 clinical practicum hours in order to be considered for the certificate of completion.
The SLPA program director will assist with finding a placement to complete the practicum hours but ultimately it is the student's responsibility to find a placement.
