Our Master's programs in聽speech-language pathology and audiology are three years in duration and include foundation as well as profession-specific courses. We deliberately have no prerequisite courses in order to attract the highest quality of applicants possible. Our students have a wide-range of academic backgrounds and life experiences. We are very proud of our current students and graduates. Meet some of them here.
Clinical education
We offer extensive clinical education opportunities including two 12-week placements, one in the middle and one at the end of the program, as well as other observation and practical experiences during the academic terms. Many of these experiences occur at the multiple sites of and within School Clinics.
Research
Research is an important part of study at the graduate level. We offer two options for research experience: a) research project or b) thesis. The聽thesis option is larger in scope than the research project, allowing students the opportunity to acquire extensive knowledge in an area of interest and to work closely with a faculty member in developing and completing a study. Thesis students are eligible to compete for generous聽funding support through university, provincial, and federal scholarship programs.
Academic support
Our professors are strongly committed to providing students with outstanding learning opportunities. Students also benefit from the involvement of local speech-language pathologists and audiologists in course instruction.
