MadisonMachelle Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hello! I’m looking into online/distance SLP grad programs. I’m already $65k in debt, so I don’t want to pay more than $15k per year (I’m located in CA so I know there’s some restrictions because of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA). I have good grades (3.8+ GPA, great LoC’s and above avg GRE scores). I got accepted to emerson and NYU with scholarships but it didn’t cover enough of the cost. I really like North Colorado University, CSUN, and Akron University. Id prefer to do my clinical practice/extends hips towards the end of the program because I’m working as a nanny and committed to 1.5 years, they are flexible and will allow me to travel up to 3 weeks for clinical/labs. What is your best experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your best experience? Hi! I don’t have a lot of experience with this but I will tell you what I know. To my knowledge there’s a difference between an online program and a distance learning program. I don’t know a whole lot about online programs but I do know information for at least one distance learning program so I’ll use that experience. From my experience, the distance learning programs require you to be on campus certain times. The program I applied to ENMU requires you to be on campus for a minimum of one semester your first year and then distance learning for the rest. They specifically mention they are distance learning because some aspects of the program require you to come back to campus in order to successfully complete the program. I thought this was an important distinction between online programs versus some distance programs to point out in case you weren’t aware because you mentioned the 1.5 year commitment working as a nanny. I hope this helps! bibliophile222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRod2015 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josiemg Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 So if this helps, I am a part of the University of Cincinnati that does the program with the University of Akron and my typical semester cost is around $3-4k, I don't pay the full out-of-state tuition since I live in the Indy metro for the UC classes but do for UA. Currently (without the fees that UC charges), UC charges around $2200 per 3 credit hour class, whereas UA charges around $1400. The program only requires 3 classes for the first 2 semesters, and then 2 and gradual internships from the third semester until the end of the program.

speech97 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi this doesn't really answer your question but I was wondering how you got scholarships for NYU? Did they grant you them or did you receive them elsewhere and if so do you mind sharing where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got $5000 total, have amazing GPA and a bunch of volunteer hours, etc. $5000 total for a school that costs $82,000... BS smarieSLP2b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
