Benefits of Pursuing an Accelerated Online Master’s of Speech Pathology

Academic Influence writes that for people who are passionate about language and linguistics, speech pathology could be an excellent career option. Speech pathologists work to evaluate, diagnose, and treat communication and swallowing disorders. People pursuing a master’s in speech pathology can expect to work in private practice, early intervention and K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and health care settings.

One of the key benefits of pursuing an accelerated master’s in speech pathology is the speed in which students can expect to earn their degree. Academic Influence features programs from top ranking schools where students can earn their master’s in speech pathology in as little as 12 months compared to the traditional two to three years. The fact that the programs are primarily online can be another advantage as students will be able to complete their coursework on their own schedule.

Online and In-Person Aspects of a Master’s in Speech Pathology

Because speech pathology is a hands-on profession, students should expect some percentage of any speech pathology program they apply for to be in person. While classes are typically online, practical and clinical internships will be held in physical settings, such as hospitals or schools. These opportunities are vital for a student’s development as a speech language pathologist as these hands-on experiences provide students with training on the technical aspects of the job as well as the soft skills needed when interacting with patients and their families.

Additionally, clinical internships are a major avenue for students to network with other professionals and foster connections that could be helpful in attaining a job later on. All the schools ranked in this article have a large number of high caliber connections to ensure that students receive the highest level of in-person training available.
