Considering a career in speech language pathology? A master’s degree is generally required to become a speech language pathologist. Speech-language pathologists work in schools, hospitals and private health offices and diagnose, treat and prevent a variety of communication disorders.
Jacksonville University is NOW offering the prerequisite courses in its new Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, in JU’s College of Health Science. These prerequisite courses are needed for students to meet the general course requirements prior to application to a master’s program in speech language pathology.

Students who hold a bachelor’s degree in a field that is not in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Speech Language Pathology or the equivalent must complete these prerequisite courses before they begin graduate work in Speech Language Pathology, regardless of the institution they attend for graduate school. The Fall 2013 JU undergraduate courses will combine face-to-face interaction with faculty and distance-learning modules.
