Please consult your advisor for requirements to a Master of Science based program. Preoccupational Therapy Concentration Students should select several schools whose Occupational Therapy programs interest them the most. In this way, precise requirements for those schools may be included in the preclinical plan of study. To be a good Occupational Therapist, a person must exhibit curiosity and commitment to science, and a desire and ability to work with people. Imagination, intelligence and character are vital.
All programs are very competitive, requiring a high cumulative grade point average.
Most graduate programs require the Graduate Record Examination. Observational, volunteer, or actual work experience in Occupational Therapy is important for all candidates. The counseling staff of the Office of Student Services offers career counseling for Occupational Therapy, an extensive file of literature on clinical programs throughout the United States, and assistance with applications to the schools.
