Post-Baccalaureate Speech Language Pathologist Certificates

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are trained to prevent, diagnose, assess, treat, and rehabilitate speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults, with a variety of careers available for practitioners in a range of healthcare, education, and research settings. Speech-Language Pathologist Assistants (SLPAs) work alongside SLPs to support patients.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for SLPs is expected to grow by 21% from 2021 to 2031—much faster than the average for all other occupations—with early identification, bilingualism, autism, the aging population, and the demand for direct and contract services contributing to the increase.

UVM Professional and Continuing Education, in conjunction with the UVM Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, is pleased to offer an online preparatory SLP program and an online SLPA program. The 22-credit SLP Pre-Master’s Track Certificate Program and 22-credit SLPA Certificate help address the growing need for qualified providers.

SLP Pre-Master’s Track Program

Offered fully online, UVM’s 19-credit Pre-Master’s speech-language pathologist certificate is designed for students interested in completing the required undergraduate coursework needed to apply to a master’s program.
