orangegreenblue Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 If you get accepted into two programs, but one is accredited and one is not, is this a big factor in choosing a program? Or does it really not make a different in the long run as long as you graduate since you can apply for you CCCs? Would be it harder to get a job once you've graduated??
PinkSpeech Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Are you speaking of programs that have candidacy status or ones that simply aren't accredited at all? If it's a program that has no ASHA standing you won't be able to apply for your CCCs. Crimson Wife 1
Auuudriana Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 If they have candidacy status and you go through the program then you are not penalized and are still able to get your CCCs, even if they end up not receiving accreditation later on. Crimson Wife 1

However, being a newer program might come with drawbacks, You will be a bit of a guinea pig. I wouldn't say this is enough to deter me away from a program but if you want specific placements - like acute care - they may not have established connections to provide these. So I'd ask both the program and any current students questions if possible!
Crimson Wife Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 If it's an established university (say, the University of Delaware), then I don't think there is much risk that they won't receive accreditation. The department admin is going to work with ASHA to make sure that they do what is necessary to move from candidate to fully accredited status.
RFutureSLP Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 One of the schools I applied to is not accredited yet and has no graduate alumni they are so new. But, they WILL get accredited, and none of the professors or current graduate students seem concerned that they will not receive full licensing or jobs. There is a process they will most likely help you with to make sure you receive your CCCs. I don't think it should deter you in selecting a program! Good luck
Hk400 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) If they're a candidate you should be fine, but one of my professors told us that it may be a more complicated and lengthy process to get your CCCs because you have to submit more paperwork and they have to thoroughly check all of your coursework.
