A late transfer may require a student to attend summer sessions or defer graduation. However, most degree programs are much more competitive than this. Transfer into athletic training, fitness and cardiac rehabilitation, sport management, and sports information and communication is limited to available openings and is highly competitive. Because this is a freshman-entry program, openings for transfer students are rare and highly competitive. They should have completed a total of 63 credits applicable to the occupational science degree, including the required college biology, chemistry, and primary human anatomy courses, or be in a position to do so by the end of the fourth semester.
Early transfer is encouraged.
Students transferring at the end of the sophomore year must take Introduction to Occupational Therapy and Human Development I and II in their junior year, if they have not already taken equivalent courses. Because this is a freshman-entry program, openings for transfer students are rare and highly competitive. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required and a B or better in all science course work is expected. Students must complete 67 credits and all specified prerequisites to be eligible. Transfer after the first semester of the sophomore year may extend the student's program of study by at least one year.
