Program Learning Goals and Learning Outcomes


The speech-language pathology (SLP) program at Rutgers University has three major program goals:

Program Goal 1: Excellence in academic education and clinical preparation. The academic and clinical curriculum is based on state-of-the-art scientific information and clinical procedures.
Objectives:
  1. Infuse the curriculum with content regarding multiculturally diverse populations, particularly dialectal and bilingual/multilingual influences on speech, language, and communication skills. 
  2. Ensure the curriculum contains information regarding interprofessional education and that students have opportunities for interprofessional practice in the clinical setting. 
  3. Incorporate contemporary principles of clinical practice in the assessment and management of speech, language, communication, and swallowing disorders within a medical setting. 
  4. Prepare students for American Speech-Language-Hearing Association certification, professional New Jersey state licensure, and the New Jersey Department of Education speech-language specialist certification.
Program Goal 2: Excellence in faculty and student scholarship. Academic and clinical faculty are dedicated to professional scholarship and increasing student participation in scholarship.
Objectives:
  1. Produce faculty scholarship to promote the national ranking of the program.
  2. Actively engage students in clinically relevant research and problem solving.
  3. Foster student scholarship through implementation of evidence-based practice in clinical and professional venues.
Program Goal 3: Expand community visibility and clinical opportunities. The SLP program at Rutgers University is committed to addressing the clinical needs in speech, language, communication, and swallowing in the Newark, New Jersey, community and beyond.
Objectives:
  1. Offer affordable, accessible, and quality clinical services to the Newark community and beyond.
  2. Provide continuing education opportunities to practicing clinicians.
