Pre-professional education

Bachelor’s pathways and preparatory programs leading toward later professional study. They do not independently prepare a graduate to practice.

This is not, by itself, a qualification to practice as an occupational therapist. Professional preparation requires a separate accredited entry-level program.

Formally named OT pathway within a broader award

A broader degree with a formally named pre-OT or OT track, major or concentration. The full official title is shown. Evidence on the official page: Preparatory bachelor-level route toward graduate OT study; not independently qualifying as an OT.

About this program

Four-year occupational science bachelor's with an optional track of graduate MOT courses; most graduates go on to a graduate OT degree, and the BS alone is not an OT qualification.
