Speech-Language Pathology (MA/MS)

Pitt’s Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) program provides students with a solid foundation to succeed in diverse educational, health care and rehabilitation environments so that they are well prepared for entry level employment as an SLP. To achieve this goal, we promote the development of the following:

• A problem-solving attitude of inquiry and decision-making using evidence-based practice
• Clinical skill development in prevention, screening, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of people with varied communication and swallowing disorders
• The ability to communicate effectively and professionally
• Self-evaluation skills resulting in active steps to develop/refine clinical skills and extend their knowledge base
• Ethical and responsible professional conduct
• Skills to work in interprofessional settings
