Panel!!!
UT Dallas - Dr. Robert Stillman
- stillman@utdallas.edu
- suggests you come visit!
- things to think about when choosing grad schools:
- what is the school's approach to clinical education?
- they individualize the program for you!
- they have diverse students
- they're very flexible - they know our career goals will change a lot as we go through grad school
- they have a practicum with adults and children each for a semester, then it's up to you
- a variety of settings are available in Dallas!
- what's their degree plan like?
- half required courses, half electives you decide on within CSD
- they make it easy for you to specialize in things!
- what are their facilities like?
- UTD has two - Callier and Richardson
- reputation
- US News and World Report rankings are great, but check with employers about who they hire!
- what's the environment like?
- very friendly, somewhat large program
- open door policy
- focus on being non-competitive, and that everyone succeeds
Baylor
- four semesters, last is all practicum
- 5 clinics at Baylor as well as off-campus opportunities
- lots of scholarships are offered!
- accept in the spring, summer and fall!
- very clinic-oriented
- means the professors can focus on students more!
- GRE scores ARE important, but keep that in balance - the whole picture of YOU is most important
- letters of recommendation are also important to show you're driven and can finish quickly
- next deadline is Feb 15th
- class is 8-15 people per semester
- have good pass-rates for PRAXIS
- clinic focuses on working together
- professors view the field as a mission, and what you to discover your mission
University of North Texas
- five semester program SLP
- financial resources available dedicated to master's students
- clinical training available in larger Dallas-Ft. Worth area
- only accept in fall, usually 35-40 applicants
- audiology program is 3 years curriculum, 1 year paid externship
- wide variety of courses
- very strong in preparing you clinically, although research opportunities are also available!
- make sure the research faculty get to know you well and become good contacts for you as you move into your career
- their SLP and audiology programs overlap and work together!
- clinical excellence is a focus
- SLP program has a diverse range of supervisors with many areas of expertise
- AUD program has a 1-1 to 1-2 supervisor to student ratio
- a way to build a great reputation to get lots of hands-on experience in the DFW Metroplex
- SLP program only accepts 8%
- AUD program accepts 12%
- 100% PRAXIS pass rate and employment rate
Our Lady of the Lake
- 25 students
- GPA, GRE, and letters of rec most important
- also letter of intent and resume!
- CLD and bilingual certificates available
- (CLD = culturally diverse)
- small campus!
- Catholic School
- assistantships are only available for first years since second years are off-campus most of the time
- professors very willing to work with you on your interests
- thesis and non-thesis options
- provide diverse options for externships
General advice from the panel
- show schools you're interested! go visit! contact them!
- employers care more about your experience you've accumulated than whether you went to the same school for both your undergrad and grad degrees
- whether or not a group at a particular school gets competitive depends a lot on 1)the people 2)the size - less likely when it's large
- Baylor - research in language and literacy is what they're known for
- UNT - SLP - known for swallowing, voice, pediatrics; AUD - strong clinically
- UTD - AUD - cochlear implants are what they're known for; SLP - known for the language component more than speech
- Our Lady - voice, speech science are a couple of things they focus on
