Overall GPA of a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Documented volunteer or job experience in the health care field and knowledge of occupational therapy. Interview with SHU Occupational Therapy Admissions Committee, which will include participation in an individual interview and a PBL group experience. Current CPR certification. As with all developing occupational therapy programs, Sacred Heart University s program is not yet accredited.
Accreditation is a three-phase process.
The site visit is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2002. In this way, the first graduating class would be eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy examination. In addition, Sacred Heart University has been granted a license from the Connecticut Department of Higher Education and is moving forward in their accreditation process as well. The University is working diligently to ensure that we receive accreditation, since it is also in our own best interest.
