Guest 123 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew why the required hours to graduate differs between some of the programs? I'm trying to decide between a program that only requires 51 hours total compared to one that requires 61 hours. Does the difference in hours matter at all if the programs are both certified and everything? Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiqueSLP Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 One might be more intense than the other. Are both programs completed after 2 years or is one 2.5 years long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 123 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 One might be more intense than the other. Are both programs completed after 2 years or is one 2.5 years long? Well, one of them consists of 4 semesters and 1 summer session and the other one is six semesters long. I'd really rather go to the one that is only 4 semesters and a summer, I just wasn't sure if the hours would make a difference in getting a job later.

mystiqueSLP Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Some jobs might prefer a more in-depth program over the other but I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska19 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 How many semester credits are the internships? Some programs give 3 credits for an internship while some rip you off and credit you 12 credits for the same internship. I had the same problem come up with me and the only difference I could really find in the curriculum was the number of credits for the internships.

SpeechBanana Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I really don't think employers give a hoot about how many credit hours your university required of you. All they care about is your license to work, and your character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 123 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Haha ok good that makes me feel better! I'd much rather attend the 2.5 year one because I love the program and all the professors! Thanks for all yalls input!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeechBanana Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The University of Pacific in California has an 18 month program. I am very certain that their graduates have had choices in where they work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
