Dr. Rosemary Theriot, Interim Dean, College of Health Sciences 

Thank you for investigating the Speech-Language Pathology program. At Tennessee State University our mottos are "commitment to excellence" and "students matter most." As one of the few ASHA accredited programs in Speech-Language Pathology in  the state of Tennessee, TSU represents what I believe is the highest standard in the field. Indeed, our graduates are leaders in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Some of our graduates go on for doctoral degrees or work as clinical instructors as well as being outstanding clinicians employed in many schools and hospitals. I believe you will agree the Department of Speech Pathology & Audiology strives for excellence in instruction and scholarly work. At Tennessee State University, we believe in putting the student first. If I or staff in the College of Health Sciences can be of service to you in the application procedure, please do not hesitate to contact our office by phone (615) 963-5927 or email me at   rtheriot@tnstate.edu .  We look forward to your application.
