Career Outlook
Few career options are as fulfilling as those available to USU's COMDDE graduates. Speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and deaf educators work in diverse settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, early intervention programs, research laboratories, private practice, government agencies, the armed forces, and postsecondary education.
If you decide to move on to a master's degree, you can become a speech language pathologist or audiologist. If you decide to stop at a bachelor's, you can become a speech language pathologist technician.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, "The job growth for this degree field is projected to grow 18 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations." Earning a COMDDE degree is the key to entering this high-paying, high-demand field.
