This certificate prepares students who have a bachelor’s degree in a field outside of SLHS to obtain the Colorado Department of Education Authorization for Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLP-A).
MSU Denver prerequisites to SLHS 2100, SLHS 2530, and SLHS 3530 will be waived for post-bachelors students seeking the SLP-A certificate. However, students who lack background in algebra, general biology, and/or English grammar should consider taking the recommended prerequisites.
Certificate courses must be taken in a prescribed sequence. Students should contact an SLHS advisor to obtain a transcript evaluation and more information about registration procedures.
Entrance to the certificate’s capstone course (SLHS 4350) requires a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better and at least a C in all SLHS prerequisite courses. Students must apply to be considered for SLHS 4350.
