Master in Sprachtherapie

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help people of all ages develop or regain the ability to speak, read, write and think clearly, and swallow properly.

Those completing the Speech-Language Pathology masters program at Maryville will be prepared for ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) certification and CCC-SLP status (certificate of clinical competence-speech-language pathology) and Missouri (or other) state licensure (both require completion of a Clinical Fellowship Year after the completion of the master’s degree).

Clients may be children who have autism, adults who have experienced strokes or brain injuries, children and adults who stutter, people who struggle with the production of speech sounds, or those who have language delays or disorders. SLPs also provide extensive patient and family education. Common work environments include hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, schools, and daycare settings.

There are flexible completion options offered with evening courses to accommodate your work-life schedule.
