Grad. Schools

Hello,

I am planning to apply to graduate programs in Speech Language Pathology in the U.S. and I have selected the following schools. I need to break down this list to few school that I will actually apply to. If any of you can comment on which one of these schools are good to look into, I will really appreciate that. I would personally like to go someplace where I can find Muslim students so that I don’t feel like a complete stranger.

Southern Connecticut Univ.
Univ. of Connecticut
Howard, Dist. of Columbia
George Washington, Dist. of Columbia
Nova Southeastern, Florida
Northwestern, Illinois
Univ. of Illinois
Purdue, Indiana
Adelphi, NY
Buffalo State, NY
SUNY Buffalo, NY

Pennsylvania State Univ.

I wouldn't know much but what's the governing organization for establishing clinical competence for speech pathologists in the U.S. - they may have some info on grad programs etc.

I'm only familiar with speech sciences faculties in Northwestern (which is in your list), Maryland, College Park (not on your list) and Johns Hopkins (not sure if they have an SLP program). However, my only familiarity with these faculties has been through my research in speech recognition systems and I've interacted with people from these places.

Best of Luck with your search and decision.

Thank you for the reply :)
