Pre-Occupational Therapy

USI's pre-occupational therapy program prepares you for top OT graduate schools.

In USI's pre-occupational therapy program, you can get a head start on an occupational therapy graduate degree.

You can enter the pre-OT track as a freshman at USI, a year earlier than in most occupational therapy programs, and start taking pre-occupational therapy courses immediately. With that early start, you can comfortably finish your OT prerequisites within four years and 120 credit hours, while earning a bachelor’s degree in exercise science.

USI's pre-occupational therapy program provides you with specialized preparation that stands out on OT graduate school applications. You’ll have the chance to:

• Get professional internship experience in occupational therapy clinics, hospitals and rehab centers.
  
  
• Practice cutting-edge science and train on state-of-the-art equipment in our $300,000 Human Performance Laboratory.
  
  
• Participate in OT research projects.
  
  
• Take all your pre-occupational therapy courses from experienced faculty, never graduate students.
  
  
• Join the pre-professional club.
