How will UD’s Speech-Language Pathology concentration prepare me for graduate school and beyond?
Even before UD established the Cognitive Science Major in 2007, undergraduate students were able to access a strong line-up of courses that function as pre-requisites for most graduate programs. Even without a major at UD over the past 12 years, former students have enjoyed remarkable success in getting into graduate school. Our small program has afforded students many valuable options for exposure to language science beyond what is typically offered in most undergraduate programs. For example, students have access to research opportunities and are able to take advantage of much individual interaction with faculty members and Speech/Language Pathologists (SLPs) in the community. We stress with our undergraduates that they have to keep their GPAs very high. Those who really struggle in UD’s Speech Pathology Concentration are encouraged to consider other career tracks. In addition to the coursework, students in the Speech Pathology Concentration complete their entire clinical observation
