A crucial part of your preparation for becoming a skilled SLP is the real-world exposure and training you'll receive through hands-on clinical experiences. At Boston University, clinical experiences start early and are planned in a way that builds your academic knowledge and skills in a well-structured manner. Some clinical placements you'll experience are part-time, while others are full-time. These placements can take place in a range of settings, including:
- Academic Speech, Language & Hearing Center
- Aural Rehabilitation Services
- Center for Stuttering Therapy
- Language, Literacy, Preschool, and Social Communication Programs
- Voice and Swallow Programs
- Aphasia Resource Center
- Intensive Cognitive and Communicative Rehabilitation Program (ICCR)
- Center for Neurorehabilitation
- Physical Therapy Center
- Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation
- Ryan Center for Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation
- Sargent Choice Nutrition Center
- Vocational Rehabilitation Center
Be prepared to talk to the admissions team about the CEC opportunity that is most interesting to you. Show your enthusiasm and be sure to display an openness to participating in a range of clinical experience opportunities.

"I look forward to gaining clinical experiences in various settings. The broad clinical offerings are one of the reasons why I am so enthusiastic about attending Boston University's SLP program. At this point, I find the Center for Stuttering Therapy to be the most interesting clinical education opportunity. The Center's goal is straightforward and vital - to help individuals who stutter become effective and confident communicators. I have learned that many variables contribute to the development of stuttering in children and adults, and I desire to learn innovative therapies to help people improve their stutter."
