Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Reviews of Master's in Communications (Speech Pathology)

"I graduated in the undergraduate program at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and now I am currently in the graduate program. That alone should tell you how much I love this school and the speech-pathology program. I am so grateful to have and to have had the opportunity to be a part of such a wonder school with an amazing faculty. I have learned so much and continue to learn more and more each day. The program challenges me to work hard, to never give up, and to be successful!"

"I have loved my time at TTUHSC so far. Through the whole application process, they were the school that made me feel the most valued. Their administrative team members were always quick to respond and offered me the best help they could provide. Since arriving here, I have continued to valued by faculty and supervisors. I am challenged but also encouraged to think outside of the box everyday whether it be in my school work or clinic placement. Wreck'em!"

"Coming to TTUHSC for SLP graduate school is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. My professors are some of the most well-known in our field and have done an excellent job helping me adjust to grad school. Our program was one of the first to promote the idea of Inter-professionalism and because of this I have had the chance to attend an anatomy lab in the cadavers lab with the medical students, co-treat an adult with dementia with an OT student, and teach medical students about Aphasia while learning more about the brain from them. The girls in my program are so supportive and we have created such a positive environment. It is obvious our professors want us to succeed by the amount of support and care they pour into us. We have an "open-door" policy, meaning they are always available for us when we need them. I honesty can't imagine attending grad school anywhere else!"

"Excellent program! There are lots of opportunities to work with different types of patients. The school is connected to a hospital, across the street from a long-term care facility, and has connections to rehab centers and schools in the city of Lubbock."

"Super great program! All of the staff is friendly and gets to know you on a personal level. Faculty and staff throughout the HSC truly wants each individual to succeed. The classes are challenging but very fair. The facilities around the HSC rock, including a gym, cafeteria, private and group study rooms, and a 24/7 security. Free tutoring is a plus!!!"

"Initially starting in the program I was very nervous. However, I have felt more comfortable as the semester has progressed. I feel that there are many resources that are available to me, and I have a good variety of clients, groups, and styles of therapy that I might not be able to get at another school. I liked that the tuition was very reasonable-- about the same as my undergraduate tuition. I feel that some of the classes are not to the same level as other in their difficulty level, but overall they cover a good range of topics and require a reasonable amount of work."

"A great program! The staff and faculty are all highly respected experts in the field, and they serve as an excellent support system. You know they have your back and care about your entire person. The courses are challenging, but make you so prepared to entire the workforce. Students from this program have had a 100% pass rate on the praxis for 9 years in a row!"

"Amazing program! The faculty and staff are extremely dedicated to making sure we receive a wonderful education and are prepared for our first career. I am extremely thankful for the support and opportunities they have provided us! I would definitely recommend to prospective students."

"TTUHSC's SLP MS program has it all--research, academics, experts, and unique clinical placements. If you want to be prepared to enter any area in the SLP field, this is the school for you. I am currently in the graduate program, and I have enjoyed every second. The professors are knowledgeable and are committed to molding you into an excellent clinician."

"All of the supervisors/professors for the SLP program are great. They are all very open, helpful, and want everyone to succeed. The supervisors/professors are very supportive and give great constructive feedback. TTUHSC program has lots of opportunities for externships, research with faculty, and a variety of placements each semester."

"Texas Tech Health Sciences Center was my first choice for graduate school. I completed my undergraduate degree at TTUHSC and knew that the classrooms, equipment, and professors were the best. I am so grateful to learn from professors that are known all around the country for the work they do."
