The certificate in “Speech Development and Diversity” is being created for students interested in applying to a graduate program in Speech Language Pathology. It contains courses in Linguistics and Psychology that are required for admission to Speech Language Pathology Programs across Canada, but also courses that are relevant to the Saskatchewan context, with large Indigenous and international populations. Students taking the certificate will develop an understanding of the many dimensions of diversity in language and speech.

Some graduate programs have additional requirements (e.g., anatomy or statistics courses). Students are encouraged to double-check the admissions requirements of the program to which they intend to apply.
