While we look at a variety of factors in determining admission, we require a minimum of a 2.5 on the last two years of undergraduate study or graduate study to apply for the MOT degree. Students applying for doctoral study should have a 3.0. 6. Our students take anatomy lecture with medical students, optometry students, and dental students. We also share the lecture portion of neuroanatomy with those students from other HPD majors. Students may join faculty in working on on-going projects as volunteers or as student research assistants.
Some students assist on research projects, and also present research findings at major conferences.
This permits close supervision of students when learning specific practice skills. The Program has contracts with over 300 health care facilities for fieldwork experiences. Students have opportunities to request specific sites, we attempt to honor those requests as possible given the constraints of time and personnel. Students often leave the area for their Level II fieldwork experiences. Students may elect to complete the OTD and the PhD in a part time format.
