Thanks for your response! I am drawn to the wide variety of clinical experiences related to my areas of interest at UW-Milwaukee. They have on-campus clinic related to unique voice disorders/voice treatement and swallowing equipment to work with. In regards to OUHSC, I am really attracted to their unique clinical experiences as well...including the cleft lip/palate clinic. So, I just don't know what to do because they both have unique opportunities that are very different! This is so difficult, but a good type of difficult of course. Well, I will really have to think hard about all of this. Thank you again for your response!

So, I have narrowed my speech-language pathology graduate decision down to these two schools. The main aspect of University of Oklahoma HSC that turns me off is the heavy courseload: 16 credits each semester the first year, and then full-time practicums each semester the second year including 4 credits more of coursework per semester. Is this a lot? It seems like it is compared to other schools. University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee has a credit load limit of 12 credits a semester, and that includes on-campus practicum during the first year. Do you think 16 credits of coursework as required by OUHSC is just too much? Is a full time practicum with 4 credits of coursework per semester going to be too much to handle as well!? Help! Thanks Plus, Univ. of Oklahoma HSC has a much better ranking (US News and World Report) than Univ. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee....I'm not sure how much I should take these rankings into consideration, but the better ranking of OUHSC does draw me to the school also.

I am considering attending Wichita State University's speech-language pathology graduate program. Does anyone know much about the program...is it a great program? If anyone has attended this program...did you enjoy it? Was it worthwhile? Did you feel prepared once you finished? Thanks!

I recently have been accepted into University of South Alabama's SLP grad program. I'm from the west coast and don't know too much about the university. Does anyone know if USA has a good and reputable speech path grad program? Thanks!

I love the ASHAsphere Blog and recently, this post was published... http://blog.asha.org/ I know the decision can be a hard one as I am going through it myself right now. Hope this helps even a little bit! Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone, I have been accepted into Eastern Illinois University and St. Ambrose University for SLP graduate school. I'm from the west coast and don't know detailed information about either programs. Of course, I've looked on the websites, talked with a few faculty members, and on paper, the schools look great, but does anyone either have experience with these schools OR happen to know if these programs are known to be decent/good/great SLP programs? Is one better than the other? Thanks for your help!
