Speech Pathology Undergraduate and Graduate Program
The Master of Science degree program in Communicative Disorders at the University of Redlands is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). Graduates from the program earn a Master of Science degree and meet academic and clinical practicum standards for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in Speech-Language Pathology granted by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Speech-Language Pathology license issued by the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensers Board. Graduates also meet the requirements for the Speech-Language Pathology Services Credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
The department provides academic and clinical preparation in communicative sciences and disorders at the undergraduate and graduate level. Students at the undergraduate level are prepared to enter the field at the bachelor’s level, to enter other health care related fields at the undergraduate level or to continue toward the master’s degree in communicative disorders. Instructional approaches in the department closely follow the University’s strategic plan that embraces 6 core values: foster student success, personalized education, integrative experiences, diversity, innovation and creativity, high ethical standards, and an academic atmosphere that is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. We also strive to provide quality speech and hearing services to the community through our state-of-the-art speech and hearing clinic. A goal in the graduate program offering a master’s degree in speech-language pathology is to prepare the student to have the academic credentials to be eligible to obtain the California State License, California SLPS credential, and the Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Academic and clinical standards in the graduate program will be consistent with the accreditation standards of the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association.
