The online degree aspect of this program makes a graduate degree very accessible. The instructors are very responsive to student needs, the library has great access for distance education students, and the online platforms used allow for collaboration with other students.

The program is pretty competitive and educational. I love the program I am just not a big fan of the surrounding area and the cold weather.

The program is very helpful and the bonds that are forged by the fellow students is great. The staff and advising team for the program do all they to make sure that the entire time spent in the program is thorough, structured, and keeps you on track to graduate in a timely manor.

Degree:
Communications (Speech Pathology)
Graduation Year:
2016
“
The benefits of the program are the clinical placements, and externship opportunities. Also the students chosen for each cohort are very tight knit group that provide support throughout the program. The cons of my graduate program have been that some educators are not as invested in the student's education as others. Many of the professors are wonderful but there a couple who just don't seem to care as much.

Degree:
School Psychology
Graduation Year:
2017
“
Appalachian State University has one of the best School Psychology programs in the state of North Carolina. All of the professors have Ph.D's in School Psychology, which is important when choosing a program. The work load is extremely intense, but manageable. Our professors are always willing to work with us and want to help us become the best school psychologists in the field. One con about our program is that we are currently undergoing some changes to the curriculum, and one of the classes I was required to take was not very applicable to my future practices. I could not be happier with my choice to attend ASU, and I doubt that I could receive a higher quality education anywhere else!

This has been a great program! Get your EdS while still working and attend class from your couch.

Appalachian has a strong clinical program for Speech-Language Pathology, but the academics are lacking. The town of Boone is great if you like winter and outdoor activities, but not if you like shopping. The best thing about the SLP program is the accessibility of the faculty --- they are available and willing to meet with you and discuss anything.
