I’ll tell you the truth- I just spent my entire spring break on the USC forum. I am now 100% convinced that USC is the best school on the face of the planet, and that fate has brought me to CC to meet my true love…USC.

But all corniness aside…I want to become a speech-language pathologist in the future, and I was hoping that some of you trojans (especially those in the major) could answer a few of my questions.

1) Is USC considered good for this particular major? I was looking around for a ranking system for particular majors, but there only seems to be ones for the really “big” majors like business.
2) Are there grad programs for speech-language pathologists? How many years of education in the major would be recommended?
3) My dream is to attend USC & become a successful speech pathologist. I realize that the profession isn’t necessarily a high-income kinda thing, and I’m good with that. But how much would the average speech-language pathologist from USC earn? Would we be respected in the field?

Sorry for the big fat block of text we have here thanks in advance!
