The integrated MScPhD program enables a chosen cohort of dedicated students to earn both the Master of Science in speech-language pathology and the Doctor of Philosophy in rehabilitation sciences through one unified curriculum. Applicants can express their intent to join this combined program when submitting their MSc-SLP application or within the initial term of MSc-SLP studies. Participants will fulfill all MSc-SLP academic courses and clinical training alongside PhD-RS coursework and research obligations. Instead of pursuing these degrees consecutively, the program blends coursework, clinical experience, and research components into a cohesive five-year academic journey. Upon completion, graduates will qualify to seek licensure as speech-language pathologists while simultaneously gaining the foundation for academic and research positions.

Qualification Requirements
A minimum GPA of 3.3 (4.0 scale) is required for admission into the MScSLP graduate program at the U of A. The GPA used in the admissions process is calculated using the most recent 60 credits (equivalent to twenty 3-weight courses) for which grades are available at the time of application. However, GPA is not the only criterion for acceptance to the program. Since English is the primary language of instruction, clinical training and overall communication at the University of Alberta, proficiency in English is a prerequisite for graduate admission.
All applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency prior to admission. If an applicant's primary language is not English, an English proficiency test will be required as part of the application to the MScSLP program. English is considered the primary language of the applicant if:
the student possesses a baccalaureate or graduate degree or its academic equivalent from an academic institution recognized by the University of Alberta, in which the language of instruction was English, and
it is the language primarily used by the applicant for reading, writing, listening and speaking, and
it is the language in which the applicant is most comfortable and proficient.
Internet Test (iBT) - Overall score: 102 Reading: 22, Listening: 26, Speaking: 26, Writing: 24
The International English language testing system (IELTS) (Academic AC or General Training GT) - Total: 7.5, Reading: 7.5, Listening: 7.5, Speaking: 7.5, Writing: 7.5
