yes girl! i am actually in the process of pursuing my bachelor’s in speech path! such a rewarding major, i am so excited to get out there and help people! currently going into my sophomore year and i am beyond excited!!
Man im a psych major and decided to fill in my elective credits with slp pre req classes and the classes for slp are VERY rigorous im very scared. Im starting with physiology and anatomy of speech
I want a BA degree but all of the schools that are accredited through ASHA are expensive! $420 per unit. I can't afford that. So I guess I'm getting a second AA degree but in slpa studies.
Hi! Love the advice you're giving in this video. Question: I've been out of college and in the work force for about 4 years now and I have my BA in Communication Studies and interested in pivoting to Speech therapy. I have no prereqs so would you recommend I enroll part time to get those reqs before applying for my masters? are there any programs you recommend that cater to those without prereqs? Thanks!
That definitely would be frustrating but it all depends on if you really want to go for it or do something else! Either way just do something you’re passionate about and it will be worth it 😊
Hi Emily, I am a fellow SLP and have started a a newsletter for graduate students in the field and for those wanting to learn more about speech-language pathology. I am wondering if you would like to be part of a future edition. I have called this The Prospective SLP newsletter and while it is new, I am trying to highlight some SLPs in the Weekly Spotlight, a section of the newsletter that allows for SLPs to share their experiences. My goal with this newsletter is to share helpful resources for students, answer some questions, provide helpful resources, and ultimately be able to provide contacts for graduate students when they graduate from their programs and start looking for employment. If you would like to be in the Weekly Spotlight, please let me know. I am hoping that, over time, this can be a helpful resource for prospective SLPs and be beneficial for the SLPs that have offered input as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Hi.. I have completed my bacherlor degree in pharmacy (4years) from bangladesh.. ..I need to know that now can I do my Masters in SLP from the USA..At present I am living in USA on F2 visa..Can u plz suggest?
Hi , I am doing my undergraduate classes to become a special educator, however I’ve become very interested in the slp field. Is there a way I can get both ? And if it’s better to do first one or the other ? Hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Hi there! Not an expert, but perhaps you can look into a double major of special ed and SLP or Comm. Sciences and Disorders. From there you could decide which path is drawing you in more and decide on post grad work? It depends where you are in your undergraduate degree and what your institution offers.
Hello, I have a question and hopefully you can help me out. I currently have 24 credit hours but since my GPA was at a 2.9 (they require for me to have at least a 3.0). I don't know what my next steps should be and I really need guidance. I live in Texas and in order for me to get my SLP-A I need the 24 credit hours (which I have) but I'm just lost. I don't know what to do and I really want to finish my 2nd BS in this field. Unless I should try and go for my masters now?
I am curretly doing a ba in childhood and youth studies. One module I have taken is on communication and languages, 60 credits for that module, of a total of 360 credits for the full ba. Is that good enough as a pre requisites or would I need to re do more specific topics for slt masters.
Hey there! Really like your vibe:) Please correct me if im wrong, at 2:45 did you mean we can get into a masters degree without having a bachelor at all? also i am from a developing country and have passed high school long time ago and have a study gap (im already 28) but I really want to study and become a SLP! I want to study this in The USA. So is there any chance for me of not spending time on a bachelor and just do the Pre-requisite courses and start Grad School? And as an international student how can i take the pre-requisites? Thanks so much for the help xx
Hey! Yes so one option is to bypass getting your bachelors and just get your masters. However to be able to apply to a masters program you need to take several prerequisite courses (which help basically get you caught up and familiar with the field) and then you can continue your studies. Yes you can study this as an international student I think you just need to ensure you have a student visa if you do not have US citizenship. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
@@emilyyelizabethdavio thanks so much for your quick reply xx yes sis actually i have many questions for you! I would come as an international student, so * where and how do i apply for the pre-requisite courses? *do i need GRE if i want to catch the spring 2023 Masters? As i learned GRE is not needed this year. * is it extremely hard to get admission in Grad schools for this masters? How should I prepare myself? Or is it not so hard for the internationals as they pay higher? * i was also thinking of coming to do an Associates Degree in Speech Language Pathology, so if i do that can i get into masters after that without perusing a BSc in Speech Language Pathology? * i have just learned for Bachelor there are BA and BSc for Speech language pathology, So how can i search for an associate in *science* speech language pathology degree? and not arts. * just to double check this subject of ours is a STEM designated subject right? Do you have any idea if I’ll get a period of time to work here after finishing my Associates degree? * could you please give us an idea about scholarships or how we can get wavier throughout the semesters. Also will good result in semesters secure wavier. Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing from you
Unfortunately you have to find and attend a school that offers it and is accredited. So you could finish your major and then find a program that offers it otherwise I would transfer and change majors asap so you can get started on that track 😊
You would have to verify with the specific school you are applying to to see what credits they would accept if any. Then take the necessary courses that need to be fulfilled :)
Yes, definitely possible but you would have to take the pre-recs for speech or double major but I don't usually recommend doing that because its very rigorous course work
@@laraibjaffar1735 good for you💓 I am in my first semester for master degree in linguistics and I am also considering to become an SLP in the future. But I don't know how it would feel like pursuing speech therapy as an English major.
You can take the prerecs for speech to apply to grad school and complete the observation hours but they will be harder to follow and take extra work since they typically presume you are familiar with everything coming from undergrad. It's still possible though! Or you can go back for another bachelors in communication sciences and disorders (speech) and then apply to graduate programs :)

Very helpful! Thank you! I am just scratching the surface of this field after my dad had a stroke and learns how to speak again.
yes girl! i am actually in the process of pursuing my bachelor’s in speech path! such a rewarding major, i am so excited to get out there and help people! currently going into my sophomore year and i am beyond excited!!
That’s awesome! It definitely is very rewarding!
I have an associates degree in human services. So long road ahead of me but so excited!
Hi! Thank you for your sharing. I need to know the course, including speech therapy for cleft palate children.
Man im a psych major and decided to fill in my elective credits with slp pre req classes and the classes for slp are VERY rigorous im very scared. Im starting with physiology and anatomy of speech
Yes the speech classes are very in depth and rigorous but very interesting! I did the opposite where I majored in speech and minored in psych
Hello im doing my BA in linguistics can i pursue my career in SLP?
I want a BA degree but all of the schools that are accredited through ASHA are expensive! $420 per unit. I can't afford that. So I guess I'm getting a second AA degree but in slpa studies.
I love that idea! I'm glad you noticed which schools are accredited too because that's important

Im mad i would have to do my second bachelors degree bc i will have to get my gpa up before i apply to grad school

so i would need a masters in CSD? I’m a senior in High school and have no clue what i’m doing.
Yes to become an SLP you need a masters, otherwise you can be an SLPA (assistant) with a bachelors
Would a comm sci & disorders B.A. with language-speech-hearing concentration from USF do the same thing?
If you are already getting a B.A. in Comm dis then it would be the same. Its called 'communication sciences and disorders' as a major for undergrad
@@emilyyelizabethdavio I am so that’s perfect! Thank you!
@@TheDailySwift That's awesome!! Good luck and no problem :)

Looking forward to hearing from you
What if my college doesn’t offer those pre requisite and an SLP major. I am majoring in psychology with a double minor in art and educational studies.
Unfortunately you have to find and attend a school that offers it and is accredited. So you could finish your major and then find a program that offers it otherwise I would transfer and change majors asap so you can get started on that track 😊
Hi, what about if a i have a slp bacelor degree from a foreing country?
What requiarements needs to do?
You would have to verify with the specific school you are applying to to see what credits they would accept if any. Then take the necessary courses that need to be fulfilled :)
I m doing bachelor's in English linguistics and wanna be a speech therapist .Is it possible ?
Yes, definitely possible but you would have to take the pre-recs for speech or double major but I don't usually recommend doing that because its very rigorous course work
The same
Me too. Are you studying SLP now?
@@notfound9469 nope am studying in 6th semester bs English, it's been one year and I have changed my mind to persue SLP
@@laraibjaffar1735 good for you💓 I am in my first semester for master degree in linguistics and I am also considering to become an SLP in the future. But I don't know how it would feel like pursuing speech therapy as an English major.
Do I need another bachelors if I have a Kinesiology BS degree?
You can take the prerecs for speech to apply to grad school and complete the observation hours but they will be harder to follow and take extra work since they typically presume you are familiar with everything coming from undergrad. It's still possible though! Or you can go back for another bachelors in communication sciences and disorders (speech) and then apply to graduate programs :)
@@emilyyelizabethdavio thank you so much for answering my question ❤️
Hi!! aspiring SLP here:) when did you find out you got accepted into grad schools?
Hey! I found out in April! I was emailed in February about an interview first. So I had the interview in March and then was accepted in April ☺️
