Hi all,
I am a senior at University of Rochester interested in pursuing a Masters in SLP. Unfortunately, my school doesn't offer any of the prereqs so my current plan is to take most of those classes next year and then apply to grad schools for Fall '14. I'm not entirely sure yet if I'm going to take the prereqs as part of a formalized post-bacc program or just on my own at some school.
My biggest struggle right now is figuring out how to differentiate between the different grad programs. I've been using ASHA's EdFind, but that basically just spits out a list of 244 schools - not overly helpful. If location isn't a limiting factor, how can I narrow this list down?!?! Does anyone know how much potential employers care about the "quality" of school your degree is from? How can you tell what schools are "good" and "bad" if they're all ASHA accredited? *minor freak out here*
I really appreciate any help/insight you can give me. I've logged over 100 hours shadowing SLPs in different settings (in-patient rehab, out-patient rehab, private practice, old, young, etc).
Thanks so much!
