B.A. in Speech-Language Pathology Assistant

In 2020 the American Speech-Language Hearing Association began credentialing SLPAs. Please see this SLPA FAQ.

In the state of Arkansas, most SLPAs work in public school settings and in early intervention settings such as private clinics.

SLPAs are registered by individual states, and national certification began at the end of 2020. States have different requirements for obtaining registration, so you'll want to look specifically at registration guidelines in the state where you intend to work. Learn more about Arkansas's SLPA requirements.

No. While our SLPA students will take many classes with our CSD undergraduates, not all of the courses required for admission into graduate school are included in this degree program.

Arkansas licensure requires an associate's degree in communication sciences and disorders to work as an SLPA. If you already have an A.A. degree or similar levels of coursework, you may be a perfect candidate for completing your degree with us and would then be qualified to seek state licensure and national certification. We'd love to talk with you!
