Program of Study
Extended Learning offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) that provides foundational coursework necessary for application to graduate programs that lead to a career in speech-language pathology. Students who earn this Bachelor of Science in SLP will be eligible to apply to the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology*. The program will provide students with a broad education, covering content related to speech, language, communication, and cognitive and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. It will build important foundational skills in professional oral and written communication, evidence-based practice, and cultural sensitivity. As the coursework has both breadth and depth in related fields, the Bachelor’s degree can lead to careers in related fields including communication, counseling, general education, health, human development, rehabilitation, social service, and special education.
*The coursework associated with the major will satisfy most other speech-language pathology/communicative sciences and disorders master’s program’s admissions requirements, but this may differ from program to program, and applicants are encouraged to contact specific programs for additional information. Application to the speech-language pathology master’s program at CSUSM does not guarantee admission.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Speech-Language Pathology will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic human communication and swallowing processes, including the appropriate biological, neurological, acoustic, psychological, development, and linguistic and cultural bases.
- Demonstrate knowledge of communication and swallowing disorders and differences and ability to communicate this knowledge in oral and written form.
- Demonstrate knowledge of processes used in evidence-based research, ethical practice and contemporary professional issues.
