  • Pre-professional Speech/Language Pathology Specialization

    Careers in speech and language pathology (SLP) usually require an advanced degree (MA or MS) in speech language pathology or in communication sciences and disorders. To ensure that students are adequately prepared for graduate-level training, most graduate programs require the completion of specific prerequisite courses at the undergraduate level. UD students who wish to prepare for graduate school in SLP should major in Cognitive Science with a specialization in pre-professional SLP. This area of specialization is designed to provide the pre-requisite requirements for most graduate programs.
