I believe I understand your question, but I am not certain that this is the answer you are looking for?
Just to provide you with a little more information...


I do not understand the differences among colleges when it comes to Speech-Pathology, however whichever college you are interested have a look at the requirements for the program early on.
For example, at Western University you must have completed a four-year degree from an accredited university, possess a minimum B average in 10 full university courses recently completed and TOEFL score of 105 IF your first language is not English.


Aside from the previously mentioned requirements for applying to the program there are outlined requirements for those students who are accepted in the program that they are expected to meet in order to progress through the program to completion.


Speech-Pathology is a post-graduate degree.
Think about how you can obtain a competitive edge over other applicants who will be in the same position as you.
Applicants are all required to meet the requirements, but your goal is to stand out and go above and beyond.
I recommend looking for volunteer opportunities.
This will help you in networking, references, developing skills, enhancing your knowledge within the field, first hand experience etc.
Look for students who have already completed the program for ideas on how to improve your application. Perhaps students who already have the degree can tell you what their experience was like at the college they attended.


Best of luck!

T.’s Answer

the American Speech Language Hearing Association has a database of over 300 institutions in which you can search to find accredited programs for both the undergraduate and graduate levels for Speech Language Pathology.
The link is below:

Find a good program by knowing what you would like to concentrate in. Some programs concentrate in school-based speech pathology or medical-based speech pathology regarding the curriculum. You want to look for a school that is best for you. The tricky thing with the illusion of "good college" is that a school's rankings are often impacted by alumni giving. Just because a school has alumni that give more money back, does not make it better than another school who offers a comparable curriculum with just as strong instructors.


Make sure you are researching the program and aware of the classes that you want to take to bring you to your goal in the setting you want to work in. Speech language pathology is an amazing field with a wide scope of practice. Make sure your program (that you attend) is accredited!
