BS in Health Sciences/MS in Occupational Therapy
Our combined Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences/Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (BS/MSOT) will prepare you for a rewarding, in-demand career. Occupational therapists help people of all ages live active, productive and independent lives. They may work with young children who have physical disabilities, or older adults recovering from a stroke. Occupational therapists make it possible for people to perform “the job of living” and enjoy life to the fullest.
Our combined BS/MSOT is a five-year program, which enables you to start your career sooner. Students complete the requirements for the bachelor’s degree and begin the professional program in the fourth year, completing the master's degree by the end of the fifth year.
