Overview

One unique feature of the Speech-Language Pathology program from University of Montevallo is that all our academic faculty also serve as clinical supervisors, facilitating the classroom to clinic connection. Our faculty and staff have all practiced extensively as SLPs and continue to maintain their credentials.

Students have the opportunity for a minimum of three unique off-campus clinical experiences. In addition, students complete both an adult and a pediatric, off-campus, full-time practicum placement during their final spring semester (8 weeks at each site). Our graduates are fully qualified to begin practice in clinics, hospitals, schools, or skilled nursing facilities.

UM offers a program of academic excellence. With a class size limited to 25, our curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and professional competencies. All faculty and staff have open-door policies and are here to mentor you through the degree program. The curriculum does not require night or weekend courses and all faculty are full time professors at UM and are available to students on-site. No adjunct or distance instructors are utilized at the graduate level.

About the M.S. Program
