Any student who has declared a Linguistics Major is also eligible to declare a Concentration in Speech-language Sciences. This Concentration provides an opportunity for students intending to pursue a career path in speech-language pathology.

A graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology is not offered at the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ. Graduate programs are offered at the University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, Dalhousie University, McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université d'Ottawa, University of Toronto, and University of Western Ontario. Students considering graduate study in Speech Pathology are advised to investigate the entrance requirements of these programs, as these may differ across universities. A folder with general information on Canadian programs in speech pathology and audiology may be borrowed from the departmental office.
