The Master of Health Science (MHSc) in Speech-Language Pathology is an intensive graduate program designed for full-time students. This program's core objective is to equip future professionals for careers in speech-language pathology. Upon completion, graduates are qualified to handle diverse professional duties such as evaluating, treating, and managing speech, voice, language, and swallowing impairments. The curriculum uniquely combines academic studies with clinical internships through a modular structure. Students also engage in interprofessional education (IPE) alongside 10 other health science disciplines at the University of Toronto. With a strong emphasis on applying research to practice, students fulfill an extensive portfolio requirement during their final year.
Spanning 22.5 months, the MHSc program features a globally recognized curriculum divided into five academic and four clinical segments. This integrated approach balances theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to typical development, as well as diagnosing and treating communication and swallowing disorders. Each themed academic module is immediately followed by intensive clinical placements in corresponding practice areas, reinforcing the program's research-to-practice philosophy.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must obtain an appropriate bachelor's degree from a recognized university, with a standing equivalent to at least a University of Toronto mid-B in the final year.
Applicants must complete prerequisite undergraduate university-level courses with grades of at least a B+ in child development (one half course), general linguistics (one half course), phonetics (one half course), elementary statistics (one half course), research methods (one half course), and human physiology (one full course).
Proficiency in oral and written English is required for both the academic and applied aspects of the program. Applicants who were educated outside Canada, whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction was not English, must demonstrate proficiency in the English language through the successful completion of one of the English proficiency tests. To satisfy the requirement, the department strongly prefers the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with the following minimum scores:
Internet-based TOEFL: 100/120 with 22/30 on the speaking section and 22/30 on the writing section.
If an applicant finds it impossible to take the TOEFL, the department will accept the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with a minimum score of 8.0.
