Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, Undergraduate Certificate

Speech-Language communication disorders can arise in childhood, manifest in adulthood, or be caused by physical or internal trauma. Students in this certificate program will explore the broad scope of history, etiology, diagnosis, anatomy, physiology, and treatment as it pertains to the role of Speech-Language Pathology Assistant.


What Can I Do with a Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology Assistance?

This program, presented in conjunction with the College of Health Professions, offers classes in Speech-Language Pathology Assistance (SLPA) completely online. The SLPA certificate meets the minimum technical coursework requirements recommended by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Students must recognize that an academic certificate awarded by NAU following completion of required academic credits is not a license to practice as a speech language pathologist-assistant.
