As in any other accredited program, you will meet the academic requirements for the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP). You will have the specified number of clinical hours in a variety of clinical settings, and the coursework will be sufficient to cover the depth and breadth of knowledge you will need.

So how is our master's in speech pathology program different? What makes a degree from UL Lafayette special?

We believe our commitment to helping our students translate theory and research into clinical practice sets us apart. At UL Lafayette, classroom and clinic operate collaboratively, but the master's in speech pathology curriculum drives the clinical practices our students use. This means you will be able to transfer what you learn in the classroom directly to therapy in the clinic. How do we do that? Two ways: collaboration and training in clinical research.
