An average subject confers 6,156 undergrad degrees a year; 1,568 students last May were granted an undergrad degree in speech-language pathology, making it the country's 171st most popular subject. 117 of those students went to one college, San Diego State University, and 224 of those degrees were granted at schools in California.

Finding the right institution for you can potentially be difficult, since 59 schools around the nation award a college degree in speech-language pathology.
