Program Highlights
Evolve as a Clinician, Clinical Researcher, and Leader
As a speech-language pathologist, you have so many ways to advance your career. Find your path with our evidence-based curriculum that advances your supervision, clinical research, leadership, and clinical knowledge. Increased knowledge and skills provide the tools to advance your career.
Two Start Date Options
Choose to begin earning your SLPD either in early May (Summer) or late August (Fall). Find the date that works best for you, and get started with a career-enriching educational experience.
Fully-Online and Limited-Residency Learning Models
Our remote education option lets you earn your SLPD without leaving your homebase. But, if you’re looking for that face-to-face interaction, our limited-residency option pairs online coursework with three short visits to our Utah campus for academic engagement and professional networking with peers, faculty, and SLPD administrators.
Designed for the Working Professional
SLPs have a lot going on, so we’ve designed a doctorate you can fit within your busy life. Whether you choose the fully-online or limited residency option, your coursework is manageable and accessible, with online material available 24/7.
