Speech-Language Pathology

The Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) Program at Idaho State University offers coursework at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students can elect to take the pre-Speech-Language Pathology emphasis track to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Communication Science and Disorders as a means of preparing them to enter our Master of Science (M.S.) in Speech-Language Pathology graduate program. Our department also offers the Pre-Professional Certificate program. This one-year leveling sequence prepares students who have successfully earned a degree in an unrelated field with the necessary foundational knowledge and skills to enter our Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology graduate program.
