I've been to CSUN's website and am somewhat familar with their requirements. Not to sell myself short but I'm not too sure that I'd be able to pull off a 4.0 thought I won't say I wouldn't try. I'm currently taking classes online since with my crazy schedule, it's the only way I could finish my degree so I'm at least familiar with the online format. If I do end up applying to online post-bac programs, CSUN will definitely be one of them. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice! Unfortunately, the current school I'm attending doesn't offer CSD courses but I'll specifically look for this requirement with the schools I want to apply to and try to take them at a local community college if I can.

I'm currently in the military and 10 classes away from completing a B.A. in psychology (plan to have it completed by summer 2016, currently maintaining a 3.8 GPA). I've been weighing my options as far as what to do during these next three or four years that I plan on staying in the military. The way I see it, I can 1) Apply to an online Pre-SLP program to start immediately following completion of my Bachelor's next year in which case I'll also be studying for/taking the GRE, and applying to SLP grad programs before I get out. Or I can 2) Just stop after my Bachelor's, study for and take the GRE, then apply to extended three-year programs when I'm closer to being a civilian again. I'll add that my husband and I plan on moving back home to California after I get out so I'll only be applying to programs in California. A couple of schools that I know have extended Master's programs are Loma Linda University and San Jose State University. My husband plans on going back to school next year and we also want to work on a second baby soon so I worry that trying to knock out 10-12 pre-req courses, study for and get a high score on the GRE, while also doing everything else required for the applications process will be a bit much to knock out over the next few years. Are extended programs more difficult to get into or less difficult? Can anyone tell me about their experience or why they would/wouldn't do an extended program? Any other suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated!
