Master of Science in Rehabilitation Science (Rehabilitation Medicine)

The MSc in Rehabilitation Science (MScRS) program is designed for graduate students interested in careers in academic and non-academic health and related interdisciplinary fields. The MScRS can serve as a stepping stone on the pathway to advanced research training for students planning to pursue a PhD in Rehabilitation Science or related fields. MSc Rehabilitation Science students have backgrounds in clinical areas (e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy, communication sciences, kinesiology, public health or other health-related fields.

Students who possess a recognized clinical practice credential at the time of entry or who, after admission and prior to graduation, acquire such a credential on the basis of their work in a previous degree program will be able to denote their area of emphasis on their MSc Rehabilitation Science degree with the following specific designations under field of specialization: Aging, Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or Speech-Language Pathology. Except in Aging, students who have not earned the appropriate clinical practice credential as described above will have no designation under field of specialization. The specialization in Aging is tailored to the needs of students who are interested in leadership, management or research positions with an aging-related focus in Rehabilitation Science.
