Hi all, When I began looking into speech path grad programs I had a young family, mortgage payment and many other responsibilities and obligations that made it totally impossible for me to consider attending a traditional campus program- online speech programs were Very new and my only option. The first online course was very stressful for me- mostly due to my limited computer literacy- that changed very quickly and I was hooked. I immediately fell in love with the idea of online learning. I sought out a few study partners in my cohort - and we became a close network of support and friendship for one another. We still plan a week each summer to meet and catch up despite living several states away! Online learning requires self discipline, organization, lots of energy for late night studying, and an independent approach to learning. The program I attended, Nova in Ft Lauderdale is a well organized and professional masters program. I especially benefited from the Required weekly online one hour instructor lead class for each course. They also have/had a four semester calendar and several weekly on campus courses which online students are/were invited and encouraged to attend. For me and many of the others in my cohort it was the best of both worlds. I still hear lots of negativity from speech path's who completed campus programs- seems as though they consider online grad program speech paths , as lesser beings. I would discuss and debate this with any of them. And I am happy to chat/email and answer any of your questions. Best of luck to all, Lindaslp email me at marquis@nova.edu
