Speech - Language Pathology

Overview

Two accelerated pathways

15-month (4 semester) program pathway for students who have an undergraduate degree in speech-language pathology.

24-month (6 semester) program pathway for students with non-speech-language pathology baccalaureate degrees.

The graduate program director works with students to develop an appropriate plan of study that meets the needs of individual students. The master of science degree program satisfies the academic and clinical requirements for:

• The Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech - Language Pathology granted by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
• State licensure in Speech-Language Pathology granted by the State of California’s Department of Consumer Affairs.

• The California Speech-Language Pathology Services Credential granted by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing

Why choose SLP at University of the Pacific ?

Pacific graduates of the master’s degree program consistently perform well on the national certification and state licensure examination in speech-language pathology. For over two decades, prior to graduation with their master’s degree, 100% of the students have passed the examination. The rate is considerably higher than the national average passing rate of approximately 80-90%.
