    Hi! I would try contacting Rafael Vasquez, he is the Enrollment Management Specialist. His email is rvasquez@albizu.edu. Not sure about that program there but I believe it has to do if you want to be a teacher and work in the ESE Department.

    I would try contacting Rafael Vasquez, here is his email: rvasquez@albizu.edu; I think they would consider it speech science but I am not sure. I would ask Rafael about the pre-reqs. I think they are anticipating continuing online for a while now. I'm not sure about once you start clinical's in your last semester how that would work. I think you would just have to set up clinical sites, but I think they have some out of state people as well that do clinical's. I honestly don't think they judged the article critique and personal statement too harshly, but they did grade my critique. I didn't think I wrote that great of a paper and I made an 80 on it lol Hope that helps!

    It was super easy! The academic advisor, Rafael Vasquez was super nice and helpful. He also responded really quick! You just have to fill out the application on Albizu Universities website and pay the $50 fee I believe it is. I applied for their Spring Semester so they wanted the application in by August 1st (just the online portion) and your GRE scores, two letters of recommendation (they have a form online you send them or they can create their own and they send it to Rafael), resume, and Official transcripts by Sept 1st. They also wanted unofficial transcripts sent to him by July 1st to make sure you had the pre-reqs. After that I heard about an Interview and about a writing portion you have to do on September 11th. My interview was on September 22nd and the writing portion which was a timed two essay portion was on September 23rd. The interview was online and was with one other person and two faculty members. Super standard and they inform you a little bit about the program as well. The writing portion is basically a personal statement and then you have to do an article critique. I actually enjoyed that because you had to come up with your personal statement offhand lol After that I officially heard that I was accepted on November 10th. I honestly don't think they get that many people to apply and I think mostly everyone that had an interview was accepted, so I've heard. Actually I am technically a Full-Time student. It's my first semester but it's Friday and Saturday classes. This semester I only have Friday classes, two of which are synchronized and then two that strictly online. My two classes that are synchronized are on Friday's, one is at 9:30-12 and then my other class is from 1pm-3:30pm. We then have workshops to tell us about clinical's and such that are from 3:30-4:30. Typically the classes end earlier than what they have though and most of our assignments are due either Friday, Saturday, and mostly on Sunday. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Try applying to some of the newer, less known school's! I just got accepted into Albizu University with a pretty low gpa. I think it's because on EdFind it shows they're in Puerto Rico, but their other campus is in Miami so barely anyone applies. Pretty neat school too, classes are Friday and Saturday so you can still work and right now they're online. Definitely check EdFind for school's that are a little more new and check their stats to see if your gpa and gre scores are around the same. Also try adding experience too.

    Hi! I was just accepted into Albizu University Master's program on the Miami Campus for Spring 2021! I'm super excited! Anyone else get accepted into this program and have any intel about it? Would love to talk to more people that will be in my cohort as well! Applied to Albizu University, Miami Campus Stats: GPA: Undergrad 3.2, ComD 3.39, GRE 147 V, 141 Q 4.0 AW Decision: Albizu University, Miami Campus
  12. SavSLP2Be
    Yeah in the letter I received they make you wait six months before you can apply again and you have to submit a letter of what you have improved. I believe you can also only apply twice to the school.
  13. SavSLP2Be
    Yeah, the thing was UCF doesn't require it for their bachelor's degree at all and instead has Hearing Disorder's Across the Lifespan and then obviously Audiology, which to tell you the truth the class was basically both of those two classes combined. No, I am not. It was kind of like a last hope effort as well and I didn't apply to any schools, because I applied Fall 2017/Spring 2018 and I guess USAHS wasn't accepting student's from Florida when I originally applied.

    Yeah, so literally the day after I completed the class, they sent me an email today of denial. Like I kind of wished if they were going to deny me anyways that they should have then instead of making me wait one whole semester taking a class, which I paid $500 for because I highly doubt one class that I got a good grade in determined their decision.

    It went very well! Yeah, I'm just hoping that they didn't make me take the class and then just deny me because they really pushed for me to take it through them instead of somewhere else and it was a lot of money I had to pay out of pocket. I still haven't heard back from the enrollment advisor, but I am going to try and call them this coming week about it. Good luck on your application, though as well!

    Sooo at UCF for our Bach in CSD our only hearing classes that we had were Audiology and Hearing Disorders Across the Lifespan and they wouldn't accept Hearing Disorders Across the Lifespan for Aural Rehab so they highly suggested that I take it with their campus this Spring and that my application will roll over for Fall semester. I emailed the enrollment advisor about it, but I haven't heard back yet. I might try calling tomorrow if I still haven't heard anything.

    Finishing up my required class that was needed that they couldn't take from my UCF classes. Took it online with USAHS, because they highly suggest doing so instead of taking it at a different university. Just emailed the academic advisor about it! Hoping my application really does move on to the Fall semester. I already went through the interview process back in October and really enjoyed everyone on the faculty and how the program was set up! Here's to hoping everything goes smoothly. Kind of worrisome to hear that spots are already being filled up though. I had no idea they were building another program at the Dallas campus! Is that not on EdFind yet on the ASHA website?
  23. SavSLP2Be
    Oh wow! Thank you for that information! I asked everyone I went to undergrad with, but they never heard about it either. lol For the University of Saint Augustine it said it could be credits of Audiology and Aural Rehab or Audiology and Fundamentals of Hearing, so I was hoping Hearing Disorders would work for that. haha I feel like UCF wouldn't have let me take that class anyways since it's in the graduate program, but too late now lol USAHS said they'd look into for future applicants when I told them UCF doesn't have it for undergrad because I guess a lot of applicants didn't have that class either. So hopefully other's don't run into that problem. But I don't mind too much having to wait for one more semester because if it gets me into grad school, it gets me into grad school. Thanks for the info again!

    Hi! So I went to the interview and it was very lax and everyone was super nice. They asked how you’d handle certain situations and basically get to know you. They also showed us the campus and told us about the program. There wasn’t many people for the interview, only like six of us and they were saying they were going to have one more interview group the next month. For me they emailed me the following week saying the “Hearing Disorders Across the Lifespan” class from UCF wouldn’t count for the “Aural Rehab” credit, which didn’t really make sense to me and we didn’t have that part of our degree program for UCF, so they told me that I’ll have to take that this spring semester online. They said it wasn’t a denial from their program, so I’m hoping they’ll accept me, especially since they kind of pushed for me to take the class. ? But everyone was super nice and I really liked how the program is set up! It’s all online and then once every trimester for the weekend you travel to their campus in Austin for labs and to work with clients in their clinic. They also have a simulation room where on one side is where the professors and classmates are and on the other side is you and another professor or classmates and they have different rooms like a hospital room or clinic and they act out different scenarios and then they’ll critique you. It was pretty cool and I’ve never heard of a school having that!

    They made us visit the Austin campus because that's the campus we would go to our residency's one weekend every trimester. I tried asking if the could do a skype or facetime for me since I also live in Florida, but they said that they would like us to visit there and do the interview in person.
