The bachelor's program in speech-language pathology offers essential foundational knowledge needed to continue toward a master's degree. In Nebraska, a graduate degree represents the minimum qualification for working as a speech-language pathologist. The Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders aims to develop committed professionals, thoughtful researchers, and engaged community members who excel at organizing, planning, delivering, and assessing services for people with disabilities. This mission is achieved through educational experiences that build and maintain the competencies, expertise, and professional attitudes outlined by the Council for Exceptional Children, the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (specifically for the graduate program), along with state and national guidelines.
