MA/MS in Maîtrise en orthophonie

This professional master's trains speech-language pathologists to prevent, detect, assess, and treat disorders of voice, speech, language, and oropharyngeal function across the profession's clinical domains. The 76-credit programme, on top of 24 prerequisite credits, runs full-time, in-person, over two years across six trimesters, combining coursework, laboratory work, and mandatory clinical practicums with a research component. Admission is offered once a year, in the fall term, on the Trois-Rivieres campus. Entry requires a bachelor's degree in a related field such as health sciences, psychology, education, or linguistics, together with eight prerequisite undergraduate courses covering child and adult development, cognitive psychology, linguistics, phonetics, neuroanatomy, and statistics. Successful completion of a French-language screening test and a situational-judgement exam conducted in French is also required for admission. A good working knowledge of English is expected, since some clinical and reference material is only available in that language. Graduates are qualified to practise as speech-language pathologists.
