Speech-Language Pathology

The Speech-Language Pathology program at Duquesne gives students an excellent academic and broad-based clinical education experience at an accelerated pace.

Students in the five-year program progress seamlessly from our pre-professional phase into the professional phase (graduate program).  The Department no longer accepts applicants with bachelor's degrees for graduate study.

Here's what you'll find:

• The nation's first five-year, accelerated program that guarantees students a bachelor's and master's degree upon completion (providing students meet academic criteria).
• Integrated academics, clinical practice and research.
• State-of-the-art equipment and facilities providing real-world experience assessing and treating speech, language, and hearing problems.
• A large and diverse network of externships with dedicated clinical instructors who teach in real-life settings.
• Faculty members committed to teaching and research, bringing students the best academic and clinical education.
• A rich student life with opportunities for fun, athletics, cultural events, networking, volunteerism, international travel and more.
