Does anyone know anything about this school? I've heard it's a larger program, is that true?

According to ASHA, they have an in-coming class of about 25. That seems pretty typical of an SLP program. They don't have a ton of applicants, so they actually have a higher acceptance rate. Here's the link to their ASHA EdFind page: http://www.asha.org/edfind/details.aspx?id=ZZ3WgWSlBCYEJ4SPXtOAwg==

Another thing you might be interested in is the cost of living in Albuquerque. Housing options are incredibly cheap there. The state also allows you to declare residency at the end of your first year (I think). So if you're paying for out-of-state, which is actually pretty cheap as is, you do have a chance for in-state tuition your second year (which is incredibly cheap). Price wise, I think the program is pretty good. You can also look into CLASS, which is their bilingual program that, I think, waives tuition if you agree to work for X amount of years in a New Mexico school district.
