Online Speech Pathology Programs exists to make it easier for aspiring and practicing speech‑language pathologists (SLPs) to find programs that fit their career goals, budget, and lifestyle. With more than 300 institutions in the United States offering communication‑science degrees—and accreditation now a prerequisite for state licensure and the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence—sorting through options can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to surface clear, unbiased information so you can spend less time researching and more time pursuing the profession you love.

We organize every accredited program in audiology and speech‑language pathology by degree level, learning modality (online, hybrid, campus), geographic location, tuition range, GRE requirements, and clinical‑placement format. We also break down vital accreditation details from the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech‑Language Pathology (CAA) so you can confirm a program’s eligibility for licensure and ASHA certification.

Whether you are taking your first communication‑science course, returning for a master’s, or seeking a clinical doctorate, our comparison tools and in‑depth guides are designed to support your next step.

Data & Accuracy

Our degree listings pull from two primary, publicly available data sets:

  • IPEDS – the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics, which captures tuition, enrollment, and completion data for every Title IV‑participating institution. (nces.ed.gov)
  • ASHA EdFind & CAA – the American Speech‑Language‑Hearing Association’s EdFind directory and the Council on Academic Accreditation, which provide current accreditation status, program contacts, and upcoming review dates. (find.asha.org, caa.asha.org)

We update program pages and tuition figures at least once per quarter and perform a full‑site audit each August. If you spot an error, please let us know—accuracy is central to our mission.
