help: ENMU and Longwood University prereqs for SLP

[isabel_is_confused]

Hey,

 

A lot of the schools I am applying to want me to complete certain prereqs for SLP because I am an out of field major. I am taking the prereqs online at ENMU and Longwood. I have a specific question about two courses: Aural Rehabilitation and Neuroscience of Communication. If anyone knows anything about this stuff, please let me know!

 

Thanks,

Alex

I took most of my pre-reqs at Longwood.  I did neuro last summer (2013).  It is a very difficult course but I came out of the class with TONS of self-made resources that I'm constantly referring to in graduate school now.  I'm almost finished with my first semester.  Definitely stay on the ball and follow the syllabus with that class.  Dr. McGuire is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help you understand the requirements when you contact him.  It is a module-based class, and each module has a set amount of work that you can know well ahead of time.  The summer timeline was 11 days per module, which was tight for all we had to learn, but I think the intensive time forced me to focus better.  

 

I ended up taking aural rehab with my current grad school because I don't think Longwood offered it at the time.  I've heard good things about ENMU but hopefully someone who took classes there can comment.  I have heard that they don't charge out-of-state rates for tuition at ENMU.  Longwood in VA charged me out-of-state rates, but I feel SO well prepared for graduate school that it is totally and completely worth the extra cost -- smaller classes, more attentive professors, and a smaller pre-req program.  That makes a difference in my book! 

 

Good luck!
