University of Akron Masters Speech Program

[BlackGirlSpeechie]

Hi!! Does anyone have any information about University of Akron's online Masters Speech Pathology program? I haven't read anything about anyone in the program, rigor of coursework, etc, so any feedback would be helpful.

It's a collaborative program with UC, which I am completing the same program through! We take almost all of the same classes, UC take a couple more than UA. What do you want to know?

I interviewed there and they told us that the entire second year of classes are completely online! They presented it as a positive because it means you can move to another state or country and be placed in a setting there, but it was a negative for me because online classes are not my strong suit. However they did say if you stay in Akron the second year you have lots of resources to ask for help from professors in those online classes.

Do you have to stay in or near Ohio for the entire first year?

Oh oops I thought you were asking about Akron in general, not the online program. I'm not that familiar with their online program, sorry!
