The Master of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology (MS-SLP) at DePaul University is a comprehensive program that offers a balanced, three-part curriculum to prepare future Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) to work with both children and adults across the full range of communication disorders. Course elements are designed to imbue students with the knowledge base pertinent to the field, while simultaneously fostering the critical thinking, problem solving, and self-confidence that contributes to effective independent clinical practice. Further, students will develop empathy and compassion, the hallmark traits of a master clinician. The curriculum includes both didactic and clinical requirements for graduation. A total of 102 quarter hours is required for the MS-SLP degree (106 quarter credits with the optional thesis).

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has established a minimum of knowledge and skills required for the Certificate of Clinical Competence (ASHA Certification Standards, 2017).
Research Curriculum: Students will learn about basic research methods within the discipline, will explore the evidence base of speech-language pathology and related professions, and will apply knowledge gained to clinical practices by completing a comprehensive literature review. Students can also elect to complete research that culminates in a master's thesis. A thesis will require an additional 4 credits for a total of 106 credits required for graduation.
Clinical Curriculum: According to the ASHA certification standards (2017), students must complete at least 400 hours of supervised clinical experience with individuals who present a variety of communication disorders across the age range and from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Students will engage in 4 quarters of clinical practical at the DePaul University Clinic. The clinic will accept clients from the community ranging in age from young children through adults and with a variety of communication and swallowing disorders to provide our SLP students with a breath of clinical experiences. In addition, each student will complete two advanced practice of at least 10 weeks duration. These will involve full-time work in an educational facility, hospital or clinic.
