About Speech-Language Pathology

Our mission: To prepare students with the clinical acumen necessary for professional employment as an entry-level speech-language pathology clinician demonstrated by a collaborative therapeutic skillset to improve the quality of life of individuals with speech-language-communication and swallowing therapy needs.  

Our vision: The vision of the new Master of Health Science (M.H.S.) in Speech-Language Pathology program at Augusta University is to be a leader of innovation and transformational learning by providing high impact experiential training within a diverse, interprofessional, academic, and clinical learning environment.

Our values: We honor our values of compassion, excellence, inclusivity, integrity, and leadership. We uphold these values—and their foundational principles like respect and social responsibility—by living them in the small actions we take in our day-to-day lives.
