Hear directly from Salus University’s Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) students on why they chose the Elkins Park, Pennsylvania-based SLP program.
Early Clinical Experience:With a hands-on approach to patient care, an early and sustained clinical experience is what sets Salus graduates apart from their professional peers.
A majority of SLP students attested to the early hands-on experience provided through their program, especially at the program’s on-site clinical training facility, the Speech-Language Institute.
Hear from students:
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was the] CLINIC! Although having your own clients during the first semester can seem scary, it has been the best and most informative part of grad school. I love my clients and groups!”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was the] range of populations that we get exposed to early on. After my first semester, I have worked with pediatric, adult, and older adult clients.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was the] early hands-on clinical experience. It is a great opportunity to apply what I learn in classes to clinical experience.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was] starting in a clinic right away and getting to experience diverse populations.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program for the opportunity to] interact with students pursuing other health professions.”
World Class and Supportive Faculty:Committed to graduating the highest caliber of professionals, Salus faculty represent some of the best minds in health science and education rehabilitation. Many of the University’s SLP students chose the program because of the comfort and support they felt from faculty members.
Hear from students:
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was the] smaller program, the professors/instructors are more dedicated to help and get to know students personally.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was] the faculty and staff at Salus, they truly make the experience. I felt supported the second I stepped onto campus. They want the best for us and want to see us succeed.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was because of the] professors who genuinely care about what they teach.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was because of the] clinical educators and professors who worked or are still working as SLPs, before going onto higher education.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was because of the] I’d feel comfortable going to the majority of the staff to talk about academic or personal issues.”
Community Building:Salus students are part of a community much greater than the University. Close to home and across the globe, projects are pursued and connections are made that advance the world of health, wellness and public service. The University’s SLP students emphasized the community aspect of the program and the benefits of being graduate-only.
Hear from students:
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was because] the small cohort allows you to make close friends which will help you build greater connections in the future with classmates and professors.”
“[A reason why I chose the Salus SLP program was because] I really enjoy being on campus with only graduate students. It feels like a more professional environment. I also feel that it provides a stronger sense of community.”
