Longwood’s full-time speech language pathology graduate program is offered in a traditional on-campus, face-to-face setting. You'll work closely with our faculty and clinical supervisors to get the knowledge, training and skills necessary for entry level practice as a speech language pathologist working with a diverse population of adults and children in educational and healthcare settings.

Through small classes and a low faculty-student ratio, you will become part of a close-knit learning environment that allows faculty to learn more about you and your passions and skills. You’ll gain hands-on experience in our state-of-the-art Speech, Hearing and Learning Services (SHLS) center featuring digital recording equipment, 10 observable therapy rooms, and a pre-school literacy room.

All students begin their clinical experience under close faculty supervision at SHLS before they move to off-site placements to develop their clinical skills. Students will have opportunities for interprofessional practice with our clinical audiologist at SHLS’ audiology clinic and with early intervention professions through SHLS’s the Infant Toddler Connection of the Heartland, a program that provides support and services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.

Our graduates meet all of the requirements for certification by the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association (and the requirements to be licensed by the Virginia Board of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.
