I recently have made the transition from physical therapy to speech therapy, therefore, I have not completed any of the required prerequisite courses for graduate school. I was curious to hear people's opinion and advice on if I should apply to primarily 3 year programs that grant admission to the graduate program after completion of the prerequisites or if I should complete a postbac program/ take prerequisites at a local college and then apply to graduate school after the prerequisite courses are completed.
I personally think I would benefit from a 3 year program because it would be less moving around of colleges but not all of the colleges I am interested offer the "3 year program." I also am looking at medical focused SLP programs but I am still trying to determine if choosing a medSLP program has any additional benefits compared to the typical SLP programs. Ideally I would like to work in a rehab neurology/TBI facility in the future.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thank you!
