*The data presented on this page is sourced from Lightcast, accessed [03 05 2024], which utilizes information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Consensus of Employment and Wages (QCEW).
Employment of speech-language pathologists is projected to grow 25 percent from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations. *
About 14,000 openings for speech-language pathologists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. *
Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
The median annual wage for speech-language pathologists is $84,136. *
The innovative model increases access to SLP education, reduces clinician shortages, and decreases student debt impact by getting students into the workforce faster.
The MS-SLP program is a 16-month hybrid accelerated program that combines interactive online coursework, dynamic on-campus residency experiences, and three full-time supervised clinical externships in diverse settings.
