Post-Baccalaureate Speech and Language Education Program (SLEP)
The Post-Baccalaureate Speech and Language Education Program provides an opportunity for students with a bachelor’s degree or higher to apply for the Endorsement for Speech and Language Impairments from the Nevada Department of Education or obtain the necessary academic requirements to apply to graduate programs in speech-language pathology. The endorsement s limited to the public school systems in the state of Nevada. The Post-Baccalaureate Speech and Language Education Program does not lead to a degree.
