Program Overview
Helping people find their voice.
While a student in the undergraduate program, you will receive hands-on learning experiences with children, giving you essential training to assess, diagnose, and treat speech and language impairments. You will also be provided training to prepare you for future Master’s degree work in Speech-Language Pathology.
Upon entering this important field, not only do you serve individuals in a significant way, you address a dire need in Nevada to fill a major shortage of speech pathologists and audiologists within the state. This deficiency is so great that the Nevada Department of Employment, Training, and Rehabilitation (NVDETR) has listed speech language pathology on its 2016 Top 100 Occupations in Demand list. If you are looking to improve the quality of life for others while filling a significant occupational need within Nevada, then this is the degree for you.
