The MS degree program in Speech-Language Pathology is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and is designed to meet academic and clinical standards for ASHA's Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology.

Each graduate of the program will also meet academic and clinical requirements for Arkansas licensure in Speech-Language Pathology and Arkansas teacher licensure. In addition to any undergraduate deficiencies for these certifications, the student must complete a minimum of 33 hours of academic study and 14 hours of practicum. Twenty-four of the total 47 hours must be at the 6000 level. The student must meet with the departmental graduate advisor to prepare a plan of study to ensure that all requirements are met. A student with less than a 3.00 overall GPA in courses on a plan of study will not be permitted to enroll in graduate clinical hours. Finally, each student must adhere to the rules of ethical conduct as described in the Code of Ethics of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
