Graduate Handbook

Welcome to the University of Central Arkansas Graduate Program in Speech-Language Pathology! 

This "Graduate Handbook" will serve as a resource for information about the graduate program. Please read each 

section carefully. You should become familiar with university policies, general rules and regulations, and student 

services by accessing the UCA Graduate Bulletin and the UCA Student Handbook. Students must also refer 

to the Handbook for Student Clinicians for policies and procedures related to clinical assignments and requirements. 

Our faculty is committed to training highly qualified speech-language pathologists to provide services to individuals 

with a wide range of communication needs. We are glad that you have selected UCA to complete your degree. The 

graduate advisor and faculty are more than happy to answer questions and to assist you as you complete this program.
