Post Baccalaureate Programs-Distance Learning

[Alaina]

I have a BA in History and had been considering going back to school for ESL education before discovering SLP. After doing some research and shadowing at a clinic I'm really excited about the field and am planning to apply to master's programs after completing the necessary leveling courses. Does anyone have suggestions for where to go for online post-baccalaureate programs? I've been looking at both Idaho State University and University of Wisconsin Eau-Claire since they're both distance programs, would allow me to start this summer, and have master's programs I'm planning to apply to. But since the master's programs are so competitive I am looking into 2-5 other master's programs to apply to. Just curious what other's experiences have been with finding the right post-baccalaureate and what the experience was like applying to multiple schools after. It feels crazy that I'm looking at a total of 7 schools right now, but when I look at admissions statistics it seems smart to increase my chances of getting an acceptance letter.

Appreciate any advice! Found this website by chance and it seems like a great community and resource for people like me who have no background in SLP but are trying to get into the field.

Utah State will let you start as a non-degree student this spring (January 11th start date) while they process your application for the 2nd bachelor's.

Cal State Northridge will guarantee admission to their master's if you maintain a certain GPA in their post-bacc. If I were interested in doing a distance ed master's rather than an in-person one I would've chosen CSUN over USU for that reason. But USU has much cheaper tuition even for CA residents.
