I am looking into grad school at Portland State and Pacific University and was wondering if each program has a different focus or philosophy they push? My goal is to get my masters and eventually work in a school setting. I don’t have interest in working in hospital settings. More focus on children and early intervention communication skills. Thanks for your insights! Also I still need to get my postbacc and am looking at both of those for that, do you know if their focuses also pour into those undergrad classes as much?

I am looking into getting my post-bacc here with the goal of getting into a SLP masters program. I have questions! How long did it take you to do the classes? Did you work full/part time while you did? Can you take them fully online/asynchronous? Thanks!

Hello there👋 I have been a paraeducator at an elementary school for the past three years and have really enjoyed working with our SLP and am considering doing the PSU Communication Sciences and Disorders Certificate and then getting certified as an SLPA. I don’t know yet whether I will want to continue on to try and get a masters in SLP or not. My question is, are there even jobs in Portland right now for SLPA’s? Is it worth getting the certificate if I am not sure if I want to get a Masters? What other jobs out there can you get with this certificate? Thanks for the help!

I have been looking around a little bit and I can’t seem to find much. I just wanted to know my options before I commit to school again. Thanks for the help and any advice you have!
