Introduction
Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) is a career focused on helping people of all ages communicate better and, in some cases, improve how they swallow. Professionals in this field, called Speech-Language Pathologists, work in many different places—like schools, hospitals, and clinics. They help with things like trouble making certain sounds, delays in learning language, stuttering, voice problems, or difficulties with memory and communication after injuries.
At Indiana University South Bend (IU South Bend), the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program trains students to become skilled and caring professionals. Students in the program learn in small classes, get support from professors, and start hands-on practice right away. They also learn how to use the latest research to help people. Because IU South Bend is part of a strong healthcare community, students work with other professionals and gain real-world experience. Graduates of the program are ready to earn certification and licenses, and most importantly, to make a real difference in the lives of the people and families they serve.
