The Pre-Speech-Language Pathology (PreSLP) program provides post-baccalaureate students who do not have the required background in communication sciences and disorders with the prerequisite courses in basic human communication sciences needed to successfully pursue a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
This unique program offers the recommended 10 required undergraduate Speech-Language-Hearing courses both on campus and online, affording students the choice of a flexible schedule to pursue the needed prerequisites for the master's in Speech-Language Pathology.
In addition to the 10 required undergraduate courses, the new 2005 ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) certification guidelines require students to complement their courses in basic human communication sciences with additional courses. These guidelines require students to have both a biology and physical science course. In addition, students need to have courses in the social and behavioral sciences. Currently, La Salle does not offer most of these courses via distance. Students who have not completed these requirements on the undergraduate level may have to take these courses on either La Salle's campus or another institution's to gain the credits needed to be accepted into a master's program.
