Department of Speech-Language Pathology

Robert W. Serianni, MS, CCC-SLP, FNAP, Department Chair/Program Director

The University is proud to offer a Master of Science degree program in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP).

A master's degree is the standard credential in the profession of SLP. In keeping with the Salus emphasis on a sound background in the biomedical sciences, interprofessional education and clinical skills, graduates of this degree program will receive the necessary education and training to become integral members of today’s healthcare and education teams, and future leaders in their profession.

The Salus University reputation for quality and innovative education is well-earned. The opportunity to interact with students and faculty from Salus programs in optometry, audiology, physician assistant, public health, occupational therapy, and blindness and low vision education and rehabilitation will afford SLP students a unique and valuable perspective not found in all SLP programs. For those SLP students who are interested in research, Salus University also has a degree program in the biomedical sciences.
