Does the graduate degree have to have been awarded in speech-language pathology?
No. The graduate degree may be in any area as long as the applicant has completed a minimum of 75 semester credit hours (36 semester credit hours at the graduate level) in a course of study addressing the knowledge and skills pertinent to the field of speech-language pathology. The program director of the accredited program will be required to “sign-off” on the application indicating that the knowledge and skills have been acquired.
