Overview

West Chester University’s Speech-Language Pathology program is available on campus in either a thesis or non-thesis track. Working in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, and privately-owned companies, these graduates—and the many who pursue clinical and research doctorates—continue the program’s rich history of success in the field.

That history, which stretches to 1923 when the West Chester Normal School (now WCU) founded the one of the country’s first speech clinics, is today the foundation of the program’s commitment to a scientific basis for clinical service delivery. In the past 10 years, 100% of WCU Speech-Language Pathology graduates who have sought employment have found professional positions.
