Speech-language pathologists (SLP) help people of all ages and backgrounds with various speech, language, swallowing, and hearing disorders to communicate more effectively, clearly, and fluently. Whether a patient stutters or has a hearing impairment, cleft palate or a speech and language delay, the speech-language pathologist must be able to provide compassionate, competent care.
With our rigorous academic curriculum and focus on experiential learning, the master’s degree program in speech-language pathology at The School of Health Sciences prepares you to become highly skilled and knowledgeable healthcare providers, as well as adept researchers and academics.
Speech-language pathologists enjoy working in many interesting settings. Workplace environments include schools, hospitals, nursing homes, residential healthcare facilities, health departments, private practices, and universities.
You’ll need an undergraduate degree in speech to get started. Detailed requirements can be found on the SLP program website.

“I hope to help students find joy for learning and build their confidence. Touro’s open-door policy is what initially stood out to me. Being able to interact with my professors regularly is extremely important to me. I know my time at Touro will prepare me to work with school aged children using evidence-based practice while also being able to make the sessions enjoyable.”
