Overview

Key facts

Speech Language Pathology M.A. students from San Diego State University are admitted only in the Fall term of each year. Undergraduate preparation in speech, language, and hearing sciences is required in order to be eligible for admission to the M.A. program. The program is 5 semesters (two academic years and the intervening summer).

The MA program in speech-language pathology is full-time and intensive. Most students do not have jobs while enrolled in the program, and rely instead on financial aid. Some students do hold 5- to 10-hour/week positions, though these are generally on campus. Due to the scheduling and sequencing of the MA courses, we do not allow students to complete the program on a part-time basis.
