The masters degree program in speech-language pathology is designed to provide a broad spectrum of academic and professional preparation experiences necessary for the education of specialists who deal with disorders of human communication.
Clinical practical experiences are available in a wide range of professional settings including the JMU Applied Laboratory, various hospital and rehabilitation programs, and the public schools. The academic and clinical components of the program are consistent with the requirements for certification in speech-language pathology by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and for health and education licensures in speech-language pathology by the state of Virginia. Applicants should have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours of undergraduate course work in speech pathology and/or related areas of study. Students may be admitted with deficiencies but should be aware that appropriate undergraduate prerequisites must be completed.
