New and Upcoming SLP Programs

[Bspeech]

I am looking for newer SLP Programs. I have heard about Lebanon Valley College being new but I haven't heard much about it. Has anyone heard of this college, their program, or any other "newer" programs?

Medical University of South Carolina and University of Southern California (USC) are both new programs.

Hello @Bspeech!

 

I'm not sure about programs that haven't applied for accreditation through the CAA yet, but this is a list of all the programs that have entered the candidacy stage for accreditation by the CAA within the past two years: 

• Gannon University was awarded candidacy in 2020, contact villanue001@gannon.edu
• Lewis University was awarded candidacy in 2020, contact tveale@lewisu.edu
• Stony Brook University was awarded candidacy in 2020, contact Renee.fabus@stonybrook.edu
• Xavier University was awarded candidacy in 2019, contact Gwallace@xula.edu
• Concordia University was awarded candidacy in 2019, contact elizabeth.eernisse@cuw.edu
• Lebanon Valley College was awarded candidacy in 2019, contact scesa@lvc.edu
• Nevada State College was awarded candidacy in 2019, contact Angel.Ball@nsc.edu 
• Thiel College was awarded candidacy in 2019, contact mbmason@thiel.edu

There are quite a few more programs in the candidacy stage. Programs are in this stage for  5 years, I believe, before they can apply for full accreditation.

 

Programs accredited within the last year, if you'd like to attend a program that is fully accredited but still new:

• Augustana College has been accredited since 2/2020
• Maryville University has been accredited since 2/2020
• Midwestern University, Arizona has been accredited since 2/2020
• Saint Mary's College has been accredited since 2/2020
• The University of Delaware has been accredited since 2/2020

 

And just for fun, these are some historically accredited programs with new aspects to their programs: 

• Stephen F. Austen State University's Distance Program is new (2020)
• University of Nebraska, Kearney's Distance Program is new (2020)
• Jacksonville University's satellite program in Daytona is new (2020)

@ck907 this is great, thank you! How did you hear about these programs, was it word-of-mouth? I haven't been able to find a comprehensive list for applicant programs yet, only those that have already been awarded candidacy. I'd love a list of applicant programs too!

 

Medical University of South Carolina

The Master of Science (M.S.) education program in speech-language pathology at the Medical University of South Carolina is an Applicant for Candidacy by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. - from chp.musc.edu
