Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) support individuals of all ages in developing or improving their communication, reading, writing, cognitive skills, and swallowing abilities. Maryville University offers both online and on-campus options for completing its Speech-Language Pathology master’s program. At Maryville, graduates are equipped to pursue the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) and state licensure. Please note: these credentials require completing a Clinical Fellowship Year after earning a master’s degree.

Official transcripts of all college and university courses completed must be sent directly to CSDCAS from the registrar of each institution attended. Students who have attended institutions outside the United States should provide comparably certified and evaluated documents(the use of services such as World Education Services–WES is highly recommended). A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution is required for acceptance into the master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Maryville University. This degree must be in communication sciences and disorders or speech-language pathology; alternatively, a “bridge” program or “leveling” sequence of undergraduate courses may be completed in lieu of a Bachelor’s degree in the major. Applicants must have a cumulative GPA (Grade Point Average) of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale; and a Major GPA of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale.
