Program details

Overview

The Linguistics of Speech Science certificate, offered by the Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, introduces students to theory and research in the study of speech science. Students complete 18 units in total: three required courses covering the science of speech, phonetics, and first-language acquisition (9 units), plus three further elective courses (9 units) chosen from options such as phonology, syntax, the psychology of language, applied phonetics, and neurolinguistics. Up to 6 units of transfer credit from outside institutions may be counted toward the certificate. Courses are offered in person at the Burnaby campus. Once a student has completed 60 units at SFU, continuation in upper-division linguistics courses requires maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.60. The certificate suits students seeking a focused credential in speech science alongside another major, such as linguistics, psychology, or a health-sciences program.
