Public Meeting Scheduled for OBU Master’s Program in Speech-Language Pathology

July 11, 2025

A public meeting for the Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (MS-SLP) program at Oklahoma Baptist University is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025.

The meeting will take place from 5 to 5:30 p.m. in room 214 of Stavros Hall on the OBU campus in Shawnee. It is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends of the university and members of the public.

OBU’s MS-SLP program will provide exceptional, Christ-centered preparation for those called to serve others through the prevention, assessment and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders. OBU’s experienced faculty combine professional expertise with personal mentorship, creating a learning environment that emphasizes spiritual growth, servant leadership and academic excellence.

Rooted in Christian values, this program will integrate innovative coursework, hands-on clinical training and service-learning experiences to prepare individuals for a meaningful career as a speech-language pathologist.

In just 16 months, students will complete an accelerated hybrid curriculum that blends online coursework with immersive on-campus residencies and clinical externships in a student’s own community. This flexible format equips individuals to grow both personally and professionally as they meet the needs of individuals across the lifespan with compassion, competence and a commitment to Christ-centered care.

The meeting provides an opportunity for attendees to address the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) regarding the MS-SLP program’s application for candidacy accreditation status. A virtual attendance option is available via Zoom. To receive a link, interested parties should contact the program at slp@okbu.edu.
