Our Lady of the Lake University

You will definitely get counseling experience in this program through practicum and internship the last two years of the three year program, but it's very expensive since this is a private university.

Relaxing, cozy campus. Great programs. Knowledgeable teachers. At OLLU you are not just a number. Near many eateries.

Pros: Student to teacher ratio is 3:1 which is perfect to get more of a teacher one on one. Also love how my school pushes us to get involved outside of school in our field of interest which gives us a more hands on knowledge. Cons: Very expensive and hard to get funds for.

The program offered an amazing educational experience. I love how the faculty was completely supportive and always there to challenge me. On the other hand, I think the program would have been more helpful if they had a few more professors on staff. It would have been nice to see more diversity among the faculty.

The pros are that the student to teacher ratio is small, affordable tuition, hands on experience. cons: small university and not enough close resources.

The School Psychology graduate program is fantastic. This is one of the few programs where you're still a person and not a number, or a ranking. The faculty do care about YOUR professional development, and not their personal career goals (e.g., tenure). Great "human" program!
