Every US state — including South Carolina — accepts the Praxis 5331 at the ASHA-set 162 cut score for SLP licensure. There is no separate state-specific SLP Praxis exam.
Licensing board
South Carolina's board sits within the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and issues a conditional license during the Clinical Fellowship. Praxis 5331 at 162 is required, and school SLPs pursue a SCDE Educator Certificate in Speech-Language Therapy.

The South Carolina SLP market
South Carolina licenses Speech-Language Pathologists through the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation's Board of Examiners in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The state's SLP market has grown quickly alongside population increases in Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville, while coastal and rural counties continue to seek clinicians through telepractice and contract arrangements. Praxis 5331 at the ASHA-aligned 162 cut score is required for licensure.
BLS OES, South Carolina statewide (approximate range)
Passing score note: South Carolina accepts the ASHA-set 162 passing score on Praxis 5331 with no additional state-specific exam.
The South Carolina Board of Examiners in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, under the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, issues the license required for practice statewide. Applicants need a CAA-accredited master's degree, verified clinical practicum hours, and a passing Praxis 5331 score.
SLPs working in South Carolina public schools also need certification through the South Carolina Department of Education, issued alongside other educator credentials. The same Praxis 5331 score satisfies the exam requirement for both the board license and the school certification, though the applications are filed with different agencies.
South Carolina issues a temporary permit that allows new graduates to complete the nine-month Clinical Fellowship under a South Carolina-licensed CCC-SLP supervisor. The permit must be renewed if the fellowship extends beyond its initial validity period, and applicants should track expiration dates carefully to avoid a lapse.
After finishing the fellowship, candidates submit CF-2 documentation to the board to convert to a full, unrestricted South Carolina license. Supervisors are expected to follow ASHA's direct and indirect observation standards throughout the CF period.
Public schools employ the largest share of South Carolina SLPs, with Charleston County School District, Greenville County Schools, and Richland School District Two among the largest employers. Coastal and rural counties frequently contract with regional education service cooperatives or telepractice providers to fill open positions.
Medical SLP roles are concentrated at MUSC Health in Charleston, Prisma Health in Greenville and Columbia, and AnMed Health in Anderson, covering dysphagia, voice, and cognitive-communication therapy. Skilled nursing facilities across the state also hire SLPs given South Carolina's growing retiree population, particularly along the coast.
South Carolina SLP licenses renew biennially through the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, requiring a renewal fee and documentation of completed continuing education hours, most of which can be satisfied through ASHA-approved coursework and conferences.
SLPs who also hold the Department of Education school certification must track continuing education aligned with the state's educator recertification cycle, which runs separately from the board's license renewal timeline.

What Praxis score does South Carolina require for SLP licensure?
South Carolina requires the ASHA-standard passing score of 162 on Praxis 5331, the same requirement used nationwide.
Do South Carolina school SLPs need certification beyond the board license?
Yes. School-based SLPs also need certification through the South Carolina Department of Education in addition to the board license, both relying on the same Praxis 5331 score.
How long is a South Carolina temporary permit valid during a Clinical Fellowship?
The temporary permit generally covers the standard nine-month fellowship, but candidates should confirm renewal procedures with the board if the CF period runs longer than expected.
Where is SLP demand strongest in South Carolina?
Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville have the largest concentration of school and hospital SLP jobs, while coastal retirement communities and rural counties drive demand for skilled nursing and telepractice SLPs.
Earn a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology
Complete a graduate program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) — the near-universal requirement across US jurisdictions.
Pass the Praxis 5331 with a score of 162 or higher
The Speech-Language Pathology Praxis (5331) is the single national exam accepted by all state boards. 162 is the ASHA-set passing score and every state uses that same cut score.
Complete a Clinical Fellowship (CF)
A 36-week (9-month full-time equivalent) mentored clinical experience under a licensed CCC-SLP. Some states use their own name for it (California calls it the RPE) but the requirement is functionally equivalent.
Submit fingerprints and a background check
Standard across all state boards. Processing typically takes 2–6 weeks and must be completed before the license is issued.
Apply to the state licensing board
Send your Praxis score (ETS score report), transcripts, CF verification, and background clearance to the state board. Some states also require a jurisprudence exam on state SLP practice law.
ETS updated 9/4/2026
South Carolina also uses Praxis for other educator licenses. Speech- Language Pathologists only need 5331 — the full ETS list is included for reference.
