(December 2014). Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a Speech-language pathologist (SLP), also called speech and language therapist, or speech therapist, who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders.
Aspiring pathologists begin by obtaining a bachelor's degree that meets the prerequisites for a graduate program in speech-language pathology, just as doctors begin with a pre-medical degree. Certification as a speech pathologist requires a master's or doctoral degree, which can take an additional two to three years. Each graduate program has its own set of prerequisite coursework, so check each school's requirements before beginning your undergraduate degree.
