Do NOT go to UD. It seems like a good program when you're on the outside, but it is NOT. I had a terrible experience, especially with my practicum. Reeb is a complete misogynist but then sits there saying he can't be because he's chaired so many womens' theses. Then he gave me a Rosie the Riveter button stating "I don't know how you go to the men's shelter as a woman, you are so brave." When there were safety issues at the practicum site, and moreover concerns that Reeb was not involved in his project except through email, classes, and supervision (which was NEVER kept confidential), the chair of the department straight up said "You have 17 weeks left until you leave, what will the really matter after then?" Completely invalidating my concerns, and now, Reeb, who I never crossed because I didn't want to burn any bridges it not willing to me a letter of rec "after consulting with the chair." So my major concerns that were brought to the chair of the department about my practicum placement and Reeb as a supervisor ***in a confidential setting*** was later disclosed to Reeb, once again breaking my confidentiality. There are a few good professors there- Julie Messinger is truly wonderful, as is Tracy Butler, and Jack Bauer, but otherwise I would stay FAAAR away from this program.
