Description
Occupational therapists design rehabilitation plans for individuals recovering from illness or injury. The NSU master of occupational therapy (M.O.T.), offered through the Health Professions Division’s College of Allied Health and Nursing, trains students to help a wide spectrum of people—from infants to older adults—with physical and psychiatric impairments.

Requirements
The Dual Admission Program in occupational therapy is restricted to entering freshmen. Candidates can pursue a bachelor’s degree in any major. They must achieve at minimum, one of three high school GPA/SAT score combinations: 3.3 GPA/1100 SAT, 3.5 GPA/1080 SAT, or 3.8 GPA/1050 SAT. In addition, candidates must have three years of mathematics (through algebra 2), three years of science (including biology and chemistry), and four years of English.

The Dual Admission Program in occupational therapy normally requires three years of undergraduate education and two-and-a-half years of graduate study.

In addition to an undergraduate studies application, a dual admissions application must be submitted along with three references, two from a high school science teacher and one from a guidance counselor. A preadmission interview is required.
