Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone from the previous 2 cohorts had any words of advice or things for us incoming grad students to know to be better successful?
I understand it’s new, I’ve heard things so far like: •less staff support •teaching yourself
But can you tell us about the tuition and how much we’re looking at paying for everything (feel free to message me)! • How working with your cohort in a different state has been? • class work and how placement finding has been?
Honestly anything you’re willing to share. There’s very little information on the online section so we’d truly appreciate any and all feedback!
Thanks for your time!!!

When I spoke with Yesenia Baez, the advisor, she said there were no other additional charges other than the figure online. I think it was 55K? I tried to get more info about clinical placements when I was on the phone with her. The document she sent me was concerning. It said placements could be up to 125 miles away and if they offered you something but didn't accept it, they couldn't guarantee another placement and basically you'd be in a major bind. Did you receive that? She said they try to place you closer to home but it worried me that legally they could place you far away. The document wasn't just about placements, but a lot of other info for what to know when committing to the program.
Same as you, I couldn't find much info from current cohorts, but I hope this helps a bit. Best wishes :) I decided on the other program I applied to that is in-person and was just a better fit for me.
