| The baccalaureate degree in Occupational Studies will create a more highly skilled occupational therapy assistant (OTA) who is better able to understand and utilize research-based evidence for best practice and take on a leadership role. As an additional benefit, it will prepare an OTA for entry into an Occupational Therapy (OT) Master’s degree program. The upper division course work will provide more in-depth training in specific areas of OT practice, including neurologic rehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, pediatrics, geriatrics, and key practice areas identified by the American Occupational Therapy Association. These courses, together with a capstone project, will also provide increased opportunities for critical analysis, research methods, and clinical reasoning. |
| Additional Admission Requirements: | Prerequisite: Associate Degree from an ACOTE and regionally accredited OTA program and OTA Certification/License |
