The Speech Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) program is designed to prepare graduates to provide therapeutic services under the direct supervision of a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Completion of this two-year degree qualifies the graduate to apply for California state SLPAHAD Board licensure.

Students are encouraged to follow the catalog requirements for their specific certificate or degree and to adhere as closely as possible to the recommended plans of study to ensure timely and successful program completion.

Note: A clear criminal background fingerprint check (Live Scan) and a clear tuberculosis (TB) test and proof of immunity to certain communicable diseases may be required prior to the participation in the clinical placement course. A misdemeanor and/or felony conviction may result in a student's inability to be assigned to a site placement for clinical experiences. All costs for the Live Scan, TB tests, and immunizations are the sole responsibility of the student.
