In addition, you’ll gain real clinical experience by working with clients in the department’s speech-language clinic.
While it is important to note that a master’s degree is needed to be a licensed speech-language pathologist, students who complete the undergraduate degree are eligible to apply to the State of Missouri for licensure as a speech-language pathology assistant (SLPA). Your degree from Fontbonne will ensure you are well-prepared for graduate studies or to enter the field.
Your choice of major indicates a deep commitment to serve, whether you continue with graduate studies or enter the field immediately after graduation. At Fontbonne, you will gain practical and theoretical knowledge from faculty experienced in the field and attuned to your individual goals.
