Communication Sciences and Disorders

Why Glendale Community College?

You can take most of your coursework for this area of emphasis right here at GCC; however, it is important to note that there are approximately 6-9 credits of Speech Language Pathology (SLP) coursework that is only available at our sister college, Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC). If you are interested in pursuing this area of emphasis, you will need to enroll for SLP courses at EMCC. Online course options are available.

In a world where communication is key to being successful, personally and professionally, it’s more important than ever to be able to effectively communicate and advocate for yourself. Speech Language Pathologists help people of all ages by preventing, assessing, diagnosing, and treating speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults. Our program can prepare you for a career as a Speech Language Pathology Assistant.

Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.
