Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology
The master's degree program in Speech-Language Pathology at ULM prepares students for a career as a speech-language pathologist. The M.S.
program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Graduate courses in Speech-Language Pathology
provide students with advanced study and specialization in speech-language pathology
(e.g., language, voice, phonology/articulation, fluency, swallowing, and hearing).
Knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom and clinic provide opportunities for
students to acquire the professional competencies necessary to practice independently
in the field of speech-language pathology. Additionally, knowledge and skills acquired
in the Speech-Language Pathology research class are instrumental in allowing students
to conduct independent research which is often presented at local, state, regional,
and national levels.

Non-SPLP Background Degree M.S. Program
Students who have an undergraduate degree in a field other than speech-language pathology
may be eligible for the Non-SPLP Background Degree Program. Students initially take
only undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology courses, and add graduate courses as
they fulfill undergraduate requirements. Upon completion of the program, students
are awarded the M.S. degree in Speech-Language Pathology and are eligible for ASHA
certification and state licensure. Applications for the Non-SPLP Background Degree
Program are only accepted for the fall semester.
