New York Medical College Reviews of Master's in Speech Pathology

"I’m glad that Dr Grover has taken over as head of the program. He was the only decent professor there. Dr Franklin did not inspire students. It’s best to look at all programs in the area before making a commitment. Never stay with a program that makes you feel like a loser."

"There seems to be a running theme of negative reviews for the speech pathology program. They are all correct. Very nasty professors who talk down to you and purposely try to overwhelm you. A couple of good ones but most are terrible people including the head of the program. Petty and arrogant."

"Please, please, please do not attend their speech pathology program. I agree with the Phillip and John (do not even know them), but will tell you I am still recovering from my experience there. There is so much pressure and favortism in this program. The mental breakdown and lack of support is ridiculous. I do not even know how this program is still standing. When I decided to leave it was almost as if it was expected by the staff, they had my processed my papers and sent them to the enrollment office. It was obvious that my extra support was an issue to the name of their program and they wanted me out. I even wrote a letter to the Dean of Schools and he never wrote back to me. This place is all about reputation. They want to be number #1 no matter at what price. There were like 2 good professors, but admin and the other professors were not helpful. I had to pay crazy amount of loan for a school/program that scarred me for life. Please do not make the same mistake I did, find a valuable program. This is not it."

"NYMC was an experience I will forever be grateful for. Most of the classes were amazing, and clinical experiences beginning first semester were so beneficial. Not quite sure about that "hazing" comment, but that was not my experience at all, nor did I witness anything like that. Focus on medical practices is just what I wanted, but there was no shortage of study in child language too. The externship placements are great."

"I recommend avoiding the speech pathology program. Students had a very hard time with the pressure and poor treatment by the faculty including the head of the department. There are definitely a couple of good professors but most are terrible. Go somewhere you where you will have a good experience. Not here."

"The graduate speech program was the worst experience of my life. They haze their students and treat them like garbage. In addition the professors were extremely incompetent. Do not go here. There are so many better programs in the area. That’s why so many students transferred out."
