jaimep Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Hi everyone, I can only attend a SLP masters program online as none are offered in my area and I can't move out of the area anytime soon (personal reasons). There are 3 graduate SLP programs offered in my state (Oregon) but all are 3-5 hours away, and NONE are online. Not feasible. So I've researched the heck out of online programs all over the nation. I'm not willing to consider 3 year programs at this point so that knocked out quite a few. My short list is NYU Steinhardt; Tennessee State University (2.5 yrs and only offers the program every 2 years); Western Kentucky University (6 weeks required to be on campus for clinicals); and possibly Nova Southeastern University as they have a special cohort for Oregonians, and have a partnership with the Oregon Dept of Education. That program is 3 years though!! Are there any other online offerings that I've missed? I'm starting to get nervous here.
jaimep Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Thanks guys for the recommendations! Both those programs are 3 years though I think I've been through every conceivable online SLP Masters now and I've got my options-such a short list but at least there's more than one!
sbram94 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 James Madison has one...CSUN...there's a few others!

aelwood14 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 University of Montana offers a 'distance' program. However, you can not take the classes on your own time, the distance students have to Skype-in at schedule class times. Which can be difficult for those with full-time jobs. And I believe the distance students do have to go to campus in the summer to complete some clinical hours. I am not sure if that would be a feasible option for you or not. Also, Northern Arizona University has a program that is called "part-time Summers track" that is designed for SLP-A's that are unable to move. One other I have heard of, but know very little information about is University of California Northridge.

Academic coursework is offered online. Students will enroll in 2-3 courses per semester, over a three year period."

This is the same with NYU Steinhardt- you have to log in at specific class times for a video/skype class.
katherinexo Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Most online master programs are 3 years, since it works at a slower and part time pace compared to a traditional 2 year program that works full time and taking more classes.
