Any foreign language majors who successfully got admitted?

[wodin]

Hi gradcafe,

I'm graduating this semester with a degree in foreign languages, and I'm really interested in doing the post-bacc courses online and applying for slp programs. 

 

It seems like a lot of people who are "out of field" applicants have studied things like psychology, biology, public health, etc.

How common is an out of field applicant with a more humanities oriented degree?

I have a lot of experience with education and language acquisition (worked as a writing tutor, have a TESOL certificate, worked for a school in Germany). Ive also taken a few linguistics classes(but not in English) Would that experience be valuable as an slp?  How would my professors be evaluated as references?
