Speech-Language Pathologists can find work in various fields, including educational services, hospitals, nursing, and residential care facilities, physical, occupational, audiology, and speech therapy offices, and self-employment. There are many choices available to you as an aspiring SLP. The Admissions Officer at Emerson College wants to know which is most appealing to you now in your educational career.
You certainly do not need to offer a definitive answer as though you have your career path entirely laid out already. Have a conversation with the Admissions Officer about your current interests in the longer term. Remember - your goals will change. This question is not meant to pigeonhole you. Instead, it's a way to learn more about your interests and gauge the thoughtfulness and consideration you've put into your career journey as an SLP.
