What are the best Speech language pathology graduate programs in NY? Is St. John's good?

Answer 1

The best program for you may be different than the best program for someone else (location, clinical populations served, faculty research, courses offered, whether the school is on quarters or semesters, etc).

Answer 2

I don't know anything about the Speech Pathology program at St John's.

However -- in answer to your question about St John's -- the answer is : No -- it isn't a particularly good school. It isn't particularly selective. I've met lots of St John's graduates -- and have yet to be impressed by any of them.

That being said -- sometimes schools that aren't very good have one or two really good programs (e.g., Seton Hall has a decent law school and UNLV has a great Hotel & Restaurant school -- though neither is a good school).

You can probably do better.
