What will I learn?

The combined MSc/PhD program allows a select group of highly motivated students to complete the MSc in speech-language pathology and the PhD in rehabilitation sciences within a single integrated program of study. Students may indicate their interest in the combined program at the time they apply to the MSc-SLP program, or during the first semester of the MSc-SLP program. Students in the combined program will complete all of the academic coursework and clinical placements for the MSc-SLP program, as well as all of the coursework and research requirements for the PhD-RS program. Rather than completing the two-degree programs sequentially, coursework, clinical placements, and research requirements will be integrated into a single 5-yr plan of study. Graduates will be eligible to apply for registration to practice as a speech-language pathologist and will also be prepared for entry-level academic and research careers.
