SENIORS- See below for a message about the University of DC extending their application deadline for graduate school!! 

As many of the competitive programs in communication science and disorders, are wrapping up their 2020-21 admission cycles, the University of the District of Columbia's Speech-Language Pathology Program extends a warm invitation to apply for the 2021-22 academic year through May 15, 2021. In the heart of Washington, DC, we represent a culturally-affirming and community-oriented graduate SLP program with a generalist clinical focus.

Through a holistic admissions process, we are excited to engage individuals who share our values in amplifying minoritized voices through inclusive excellence. 

If you know of a talented student or transitioning professional exploring next steps along their professional path who may be a good fit, please share this opportunity with them. Admission criteria available on our website (www.udc.edu/programs/speech-language-pathology/ )

For any admissions or program-specific questions, please contact the admissions chairperson, Prof. Myesha Carter, at mcarter@udc.edu .
