Train alongside telepractice specialists and develop the skills to excel as a clinician. As a graduate student in UW's speech-language pathology program, you'll gain hands-on experience with electronic medical records while undertaking engaging clinical work. Our program stands apart from other SLP master's degrees. Continuously pioneering since 1886, UW delivers the most advanced clinical education in speech-language pathology graduate programs.
The SLP master's program at UW follows a hybrid model, with your first year (three semesters) spent on campus in Laramie, Wyoming, followed by a second year (three semesters) of clinical practicums, externships, and online coursework that can be completed nationwide (with program-approved clinical sites). This blend of academic instruction and clinical training equips you with comprehensive expertise to evaluate, diagnose, treat, and prevent communication disorders. Our graduates are prepared to practice as SLPs in any professional environment.
Throughout your SLP training, you'll study various communication challenges including voice disorders, articulation issues, stuttering, language delays, and learning differences. The curriculum also covers communication and swallowing problems related to neurological conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, and developmental disorders.
You'll develop skills to serve clients of all ages in multiple settings - schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, universities, and private clinics. The program teaches assessment techniques for speech and language disorders across age groups, along with developing treatment plans and providing direct therapy. Students may select either a thesis or non-thesis option, with opportunities to participate in communication disorder research projects.
This full-time, two-year Master's in Speech-Language Pathology requires completion of 61 semester credit hours across six consecutive semesters (including summer terms).
First Year: Students complete coursework and clinical practicums at UW's Speech & Hearing Clinic during three on-campus semesters in Laramie, Wyoming.
Second Year: Features online synchronous courses in fall, followed by intensive community placements (available nationwide with university approval). Students take oral comprehensive exams and complete two full-time externships (educational and medical settings) during spring and summer semesters. Externships are typically arranged at established partner sites, primarily in the Mountain-west region.
