Occupational Therapy, Bachelor

You'll start with two years of pre-professional coursework, which typically includes classes in topics such as human development, anatomy, physiology, public health, psychology, statistics and diversity. Then, you'll advance to professional courses and learning experiences, including gross anatomy, neuroscience, assistive technology, prosthetics, orthotics, and occupational therapy (OT) processes. Finally, you'll take graduate-level classes and conduct hands-on fieldwork to develop your clinical skills—including performing evaluations and interventions, working with underserved populations, and using everyday activities to help people achieve or regain independence. As a student in our Research 1 University, you will conduct research with classmates under the mentorship of an OT faculty member to help future OT service recipients.
