Overview

Our Communication Science and Disorders program from Florida State University provides students with the skills necessary to work in a variety of settings such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing care facilities, and private practices. Through core classes, individualized elective options, and clinical experiences both within our in-house clinic and out in the Tallahassee community, our students obtain the highest level of preparation for their future career as speech-language pathologists.

Program's Overview

A master’s degree is the minimum educational level for entrance into the profession, and graduate-level training is required for professional specialization and fulfillment of requirements for national certification, state licensure, and state teacher certification.

Professionals in the field work in many settings such as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing care facilities, industry, government health facilities, research laboratories, and private practice. Although regulations differ, most states require licensure for all employment settings except in the public schools or federal agencies. In addition to practicing directly with persons having disorders, professionals may pursue research, teach, or enter into administration of programs and agencies in the field.
