Students engage in four semesters of clinical experiences, both on and off-campus. In your first semester of Clinic (Clinic 1), you'll engage in meaningful clinical experiences under the guidance of highly skilled supervisors in the on-campus speech-language clinic. Individuals of all ages from surrounding communities come to the speech-language clinic for diagnostic and therapeutic services.
In Clinics 2 through 4, you'll typically work multiple days a week off-campus with speech-language pathologists as a student clinician in community-based hospitals, outpatient clinics, educational institutions, and other settings.
Consistent with ASHA guidelines, both on-campus and off-campus clinical assignments provide you with hands-on experience evaluating and/or treating children and adults with various diagnoses, disorders, and impairments, such as language, cognitive-linguistic, and swallowing disorders. While many of our external clinical sites are accessible by public transportation, not all are. Consequently, you must have access to a car during the semesters you are enrolled in Clinics 2 through 4.
