The Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences department at Mizzou is one of the oldest continually accredited programs in speech-language pathology in the nation. We are proud of our long and distinguished history as well as the high quality of our graduates, students, faculty and staff.
The MHS for Speech-Language Pathology at MU is a small and selective program.
Students benefit from a low student-faculty ratio, close supervision in the MU Speech and Hearing Clinic, and a challenging yet supportive learning environment.
Faculty in SLHS are accessible, and strong student-faculty relationships are easily developed.
While local clinical opportunities abound, students are free to complete their final two clinical externships anywhere in the nation.
Many students receive funding in the form of graduate teaching or research assistantships that provide tuition support and a stipend, thorough hourly employment or a scholarship.
Curriculum
The MHS curriculum offers comprehensive training in academic, clinical, and research foundations/components of language, speech, and hearing and in the diagnosis and treatment of the spectrum of communication disorders.
