UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

kkai · Mar 20, 2013

I did Speech 1315 and they accepted it. I'm taking Math 1314 as well as Math 1332 (Math for Liberal Arts) and BCIS 1405 (Business Computer applications). I am pretty sure these will transfer, but call them about Speech 1311.

Thanks! I will call them to double chekc. Just to make sure, we need 5 hours of electives, is that right?

The program is sixteen months long. Yes, it runs through the summer too.

Gotcha thanks! I can't believe i didn't know this, but i'm happy about it :)

Alright one more question, sorry if i sound dumb i'm just trying to clear things up. Did you guys apply to the accerlerated program? Therefore that's why it goes through the summer? Because I'm pretty sure I signed up for the traditional program that didn't go through the summer. Either way i can do it, i'm just trying to understand better.

Hey Erinbabyy, I am an S2 about to graduate in May. I am only stocking this page because I know somebody who got accepted into your class. I went back a couple of pages and here is the answer to some of the questions I saw that were asked but I didn't see where anybody answered. While I guess you can call it an accelerated program, it is only accelerated if you start in the summer because summers are shorter and I think in the end you finish a month earlier because you have to do two summer semesters. They have a pacesetter program and a traditional program. I have not heard anybody who has said they liked the pacesetter program. Basically what a pacesetter means is you do all of your classroom up front which can make your second semester extremely crazy and very difficult, and then later you do all of your clinicals in a semester. My advise would be stay away from the pacesetter program if you can. Somebody else asked a question about taking patho early over the summer. The program doesn't work that way. You are accepted to a semester start up and you will not be able to start until then. Yes, they have a patho class in the summer but it will be full with all the people that started in the summer and then you will also have those that failed patho the previous semester. I know the class that just started was one of the largest the school has ever done with 170 something folks. The problem is that I heard there were about 30 or so people that failed patho the previous semester which means they will be pushed back to the next class. That is how it works. You are allowed to fail one class throughout the entire program. If you fail, you are allowed only to take that one class the next semester and you are pushed back a semester of finishing. If you fail two classes your done. Hope this helps.

Yes that does help! Thank you. So if it tells me in my acceptance letter that I'm starting in August, does that mean I'm in the traditional program, and will not be graduating in Dec of 2014 and instead in May of 2015? Sorry for so many questions, but you've helped a ton already :)

jofoste2 · Mar 20, 2013

If you start in the Fall you will finish 4 semester later as long as you don't fail a class. So yes you will graduate in December of 2014. All of the programs traditional or pacesetters go through the summer.

Btw I have requested to join your FB group. I can answer more of your questions there if you like. I don't really look at this page anymore.
