Speech-Language Pathology - Ithaca College

Speech-Language Pathology from Ithaca College is a Campus Bachelor Communication Disorders degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. As baby boomers begin to age, they require more health services -- including those provided by hearing and communication specialists. Children and young adults may also experience a range of communication disorders and can benefit from the services provided by speech-language pathologists . Ithaca College offers a flexible speech-language pathology program that prepares students for continued study beyond the bachelor's degree . Our graduate program offers two tracks: speech-language pathology and teaching students with speech and language disabilities. Since your four-year training combines in-depth classroom study with clinical experience -- a rarity at the undergraduate level -- you'll learn to understand the causes of disorders, assess their severity, and design appropriate programs of therapy for each client. And during your junior and senior years, you'll spend a substantial amount of time in the Sir Alexander Ewing-Ithaca College Speech and Hearing Clinic. There you'll have both intensive clinical observation experience and contact with actual clients, along with plenty of guidance from our caring faculty. You'll also have the opportunity to gain real-life clinical experience with populations in need of your skills through our close association with local Head Start programs and with Longview, a long-term-care facility located just up the road from the Ithaca College campus. After finishing this bachelor's degree, our students pursue graduate study at Ithaca College or at other fine universities such as George Washington, Northwestern, and Boston.
