Overview

Pursue your passion for helping others communicate more clearly and fluently with a master’s in speech-language pathology from Hardin-Simmons University. The intensive 5-semester, non-thesis Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program balances theory and experiential learning to prepare you to become a skilled and considerate health care provider or researcher.

Speech-language pathology is a fast-growing field that involves assessing, diagnosing, and treating people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. As a speech-language pathologist, you will help patients with developing language, fluency (stuttering), articulation (difficulty with sounds), apraxia, feeding and swallowing, as well as pragmatic communication (social communication), cognitive communication (attention, memory, organization), aphasia (language difficulty, typically after a stroke), voice, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

Outcomes

Graduating with a degree from HSU, one of the leading speech-language pathology master’s programs in Texas, will help you further your career and increase your earning potential.

Speech-language pathologists work in a wide range of professional settings, including schools, hospitals, out/in patient clinics, and private practice. A master’s degree in speech-language pathology is required for speech-language pathologist jobs.
