Overview

The graduate Speech - Language Pathology program at the University of Central Missouri provides an exciting environment for learning, growing and achieving your professional dreams while helping others. Faculty, students and clients are motivated and encouraged to reach their goals for competency, enrichment and communication mastery. We see the best in faculty, students and clients and help them to achieve this same vision and level of excellence.

Career

Speech - language pathologists provide services to patients of all ages (infants to adults) across a spectrum of communication, swallowing and hearing disorders and differences, such as stroke, autism, hearing loss and dyslexia.

As an SLP, you will change the lives of patients and their families while working independently and in collaboration with other professionals such as special education teachers, counselors, nurses and dieticians.

Many of our Speech - Language Pathology master’s program graduates gain employment within Missouri and Kansas, but we have graduates across the United States. Some work in schools with early childhood, special education, elementary and high school students. Others are employed in health care settings, including skilled nursing facilities, rehab hospitals and inpatient and outpatient clinics.

A few work for other industries, using their master’s degree in Speech - Language Pathology in sales, for example. Dynavax, a maker of computer systems for non-vocal people, has hired UCM graduates with speech-language pathology master’s degrees.
